Testing your blood glucose only tells them what it was right when they drew the blood. The big problem with high blood sugar is that it can react with proteins in your blood, which makes them sticky. (And then your blood vessels get all gummed up and that is Bad.) A1C is one particular kind of sugared-up protein, so measuring that gives them kind of an integrated view of how high your blood sugar's been over the last like month.
@stevegis_ssg oh wow so it’s way more comprehensive than just a glucose level. I didn’t realize that. So that’s even better news yes?
@seatek @stevegis_ssg I had slightly elevated a1c at the end of last year, at 5.7 and my doctor told me to eat more veggies and re-rest in three months. Luckily it went back to normal......
@corgidad @stevegis_ssg did you permanently add more veggies?
@seatek @stevegis_ssg I didn't 😅 but my diet is usually pretty balanced..... At least when I eat a lot at work......
