I have been a Type II Diabetic for nearly 18 months now. I have been extremely lucky. My first HbA1c test result was 12.1and my first daily glucose reading caused my meter to errored out. I learned later that my meter errored out because my glucose reading was over 600 which my meter could not handle.
My last HbA1c reading was 5.8 and prior to that I have had readings of 5.5 for the last two tests. My daily glucose reading are around 110-115 in the morning and mid 80 in the early evening. These numbers are wonderful, but it took me some time to learn how to relate these numbers to renewing my health today.
Everyone with diabetes should know their HbA1c score . The HbA1c test measures your average blood glucose levels over the last three months. This test will tell you how well you have been controlling your blood glucose levels. Your daily blood glucose reading by finger prick blood tests assists controlling your daily glucose levels as you discipline your diet to maintain a relative steady level of blood glucose.
