Hello DMS! Welcome.
I'm so Glad that you are doing well with your Diabetes control.
An A1c of 5.6 is Excellent. Good job.
The lowest A1c that I've ever had(that I know of)was 5.9. My
last results Feb. 8th was 6.3(again)which is still Good.
Thank you for mentioning about the Accu-chek. I have never
used one but someone was asking about them.
I always compare my new meters(blood test)against my Doctors
office meter. I like to make sure that we are on the same page
or close to it.
My coverage allows any meter and since I have done well with
the Life Scan products, I am using the Ultra 2(have 2) plus
considering the mini.
