Someone recently directed me to a web site that calculates your A1c from your average BG, or vice versa. So I entered my latest A1c, which was 5.7, and it told me my average BG is 116.
Now, there are several formulas in use and they're obviously using one that gives one of the lower answers. Okay, fine, to each his own.
BUT: the answer was accompanied by this comment:
"Congratulations! Your A1C result falls within the normal range—even for people who don't have diabetes. "
Uh, no. I'm sorry, but it does nothing of the kind, as any follower of Bernstein knows full well.
Oh, the best part: this web site is run by the manufacturer of my meter!
There is so much bad info out there being spoon fed to the unwary. Grrrrrr!
