Glucose levels and the hemoglobin A1C: Is this logical?
Say you are a person who is diabetic and you consistently do not eat from 6am-6pm, but have breakfast before 6 am and dinner after 6 pm, would the skipping of meals ” hide” your high blood sugar levels when you do eat. In other words, would skipping meals bring the average glucose level lower than the “true” average?
i find your comment a little presumptuous misses lab tech
an A1c is the average of all glucose reading over a three month period of time, so no it won’t hide anything. This is why my doctor likes it so much (so many not well controlled diabetics like to test with their home monitors when they know their levels are good so it seems to look like they’re working at it, but the A1c will squeal on them).
