I had never heard of A1C until about 5 years ago when I found out that I was a type 2 diabetic. Since that time, Hemoglobin A1c and I have gotten to know each other.
I started out with a reading of 5.9 in Jan 2005 and, as of last Jan, I was up to 6.6 even though I take Metformin, watch my diet and exercise regularly. Then I went to the lab in August and my A1c is down to 5.9 again! My doc says "Congrats. Sometimes it goes down. You must be livin' right." Though I'm delighted at the improved #, I have not taken any action to cause this result. I just continue to do the same thing regularly. Why the change ion my Hemoglobin A1c?
Can any of you medical folks shed any light on my situation?
