Btw, I've developed a windows application I use to track my blood sugar readings and break out averages (7 day, current month, overall since recording). I also use it to track my blood pressure readings (I monitor it, mostly, 3 times a day) with the same averages. I'm considering creating a version that would allow for a variable amount of blood sugar input (without blood pressure, at least initially). Let me know if anyone would use such a tool...

Hello There:
Well, I know that I've never had an A1c anywhere's close to 4.3.
Good work on the weight-loss. It sounds like your meal plan is
working well for you. In the U.S., I believe 4.0-6.0. is the Good
range. I had noticed when I got my A1c last month that the range
was 4.8-6.0. I thought that was odd since I was pretty sure ours
was the same as the U.S. I had a 6.3 again. In all,many Drs. here
are Happy if their Patient has any number below a 7.0.
If you think a GSP will alleviate any concerns that you have, by
all means.
