[Diabetes-talk] New ways?

Thu Jul 21 21:49:16 UTC 2011

And A1C only shows the average for 3 months, it doesn't show the doctor what you are doing on a daily or weekly thing, maybe during breakfast you aren't eating enough or touch much, maybe you were sick one day but not the next.

She the doctors have a write to ask, you are there patient, same with the pharmacies.

  I am surprised they don't ask for the a one c.
  I know they can't do that, where that would show truly if you were doing well.
  As I call it a give away.
  It should be between you and your doctor with their team how you should 
  be with your a one c.
