Omg ur video made me cry cuz for the last few days I couldn't figure out why my A1C went from 6.0 (march) to 6.2(june) even though I gave up sugar completely n am very low carb/keto diet since March. I was devastated to see my blood work yesterday. But your video makes sense...my hemoglobin is 9.2, hematocrit is 32 n am very anemic according to my doc. Sigh such a relief...thank you

I am a type 1 diabetic for 40 years. I am 71. My A1C has consistently been 5.8 since I started using the Tandem Tslim using control in and Dexcom. My hgb and hct are very good.
My Endo told me it’s too low that I could suffer cardiac arrest at my age. Wondering who I should believe?

[arualsuga]

Thank you for sharing this! My A1C result was 6.5% and it turns out it didn't align with my blood sugar at all. I went from being diagnosed with diabetes, to having normal blood sugar within a week - only because I went back to my doctor and asked her to double check with a glucose challenge. She still doesn't know why the tests don't match, but I'm glad I found your video and had the courage to go back.

[katiekleinbeck]

I had my A1C tested and it went from 5.9 - 6.2, and I’ve been eating healthy, portioned out food and working out. I’m at a loss. She didn’t run my CBC either…

[dcgunman]

I was diagnosed with pre-diabetes 3 months ago. My A1C was 5.7%. My Lipid Panel results were high also. (Cholestral >227, HDL>3.3, NonHDL>159, HDL>68, LDL>135 & Triglyceride>137). I was given Amlodipine (5mg) for cholesteral. Ive been taking Valsartan160 for the last 3 years. The last 3 months I went on a diet and exercise. No sugar & no carb. Lots of fruit, vegetables(greens), yogurt, fibers, etc. My weight went from 215+lbs to today at 190lbs. I went in for a Lipid panel test & Hemoglobin test yesterday and my results came back today. Cholesterol>148, HDL>1.9, NonHDL>72, HDL>76, LDL>58 & Triglyceride>68. All good numbers I believe. But my HGBA1C was 5.8%. It went up .1%. Why is that? Because I fasted 12 hours before my lab test? Are the test results correct? I continued to take Amlodipine while on my diet & exercise.

[MrHopper]

You answer the questions for me that I didn't even know I should ask. Thanks

[michelleflores]

Thank for explaining this. I was so confused when my a1c is 8% and my FBS is 94. I do have anemia from my CBC.

[knockout]

You are telling the truth, till quite some time my MG/DL is 120+ while here it is showing 5.7.9 on HBA1C

[brormel]
