The HbA1c for Dummies

Gerri
I think we are boring the pants off other people –you have your opinion and I have mine –albeit mine is from a very practical, hands-on, T2 approach.
I can quote you one US reference immediately from an online source called SugarStats –who incidentally recommend both Manny and TuDiabtes as a source –and maintained by well credentialed people.
“What is a normal HbA1c level?
Well, in non-diabetics, a normal HbA1c level is between 3.0% to 7%”.

I certainly don’t recommend the HbA1c as an alternative to regular home testing –as an average there are just too many variables that could result in a ‘good’ HbA1c.
Now I suggest we put it to rest.
