My math may be faulty, so correct me if I'm wrong, but I come up with an A1c of 5.78

 

Shanny,

If the following website is reliable, you are doing very well:

Guidelines Blood Sugar Levels: Normal, Pre-diabetes, Diabetes


See "Normal Range Blood Glucose Levels" table

"Normal range blood sugar levels have been harder to define over the recent years. Research keeps revealing that even slight elevations in blood glucose are associated with eye damage and increased risk of heart attack and stroke even before people get diabetes. "

- interesting footnote above -- it seems that diabetes really means high blood sugar but not necessarily constant high blood sugar, much like high blood pressure;

 

when i feel math challenged ( most of the time ) i use this for A1c:

Congratulations ColaJim. It looks like you have improved -- change in diet/exercise or perhaps drugs? In any case, you have sustained good health for many years. So much for keeping bg's close to hypoglycemic levels. I think everyone has different variables for their health.

 

Using Jim's conversion aid, the A1c is 5.3 . . . that's more like it!

 

Ooooo...nice! I didn't realize A1c was different than the average... my 30-day avg has been 107, so that gives me a 5.3! Sweet!
