to my Dr. yesterday for a regular check-up (every 4 months).  Of course, they did a blood glucose test.  One of his nurses called just a few minutes ago, to tell me that the reading was 108 which translates into HbA1c of 5.2.  Hooray!  That even includes the eating I did at Thanksgiving.


If any of you are told your glucose reading and would like to know what it means in A1c language, there is a chart to be found:

Print it off and keep for future reference.  There is even a wallet size one, but I've never printed that one.  I keep a copy under magnets on the side of the 'fridge.
