Highest Numbers

I was first taught to check my fasting blood sugar in the morning. If I ate badly, I certainly didn't want to know how high my blood sugar was going. However, that high blood sugar is what really makes my hemoglobin A1C come out high. So, now I've learned not to fear the two-hour after meal blood test. This number gives me a better feel for how many carbs to eat at a meal. I feel I have better control knowing the worst case senerio.

Yes, testing pre and post meal will give you info about that meal's impact on your BG.
However, be aware that there are two sources of blood glucose.
What you eat and your liver.
When you go for a fasting lab blood test, the BG result is what your liver produces (you've been fasting and the food contribution is thus ruled out).
If your HbA1c is higher than 8.5%, then your liver is the main culprit, not your diet.
If your A1c is lower than 8.5%, your main issue is probably what you're eating.

SamE ... are you a type 1?
If so, those are great numbers.
If you're a type 2, those A1c numbers are odd, as both are in the normal range.
What was the highest A1c number ever applied to you?
