[Discussion] the A1c advice in here is 2 years out of date
the A1c advice in here is 2 years out of date. Making the case below, and I expect to lose some of it in the comments. To save the first four comments: 2 years. Continuous monitoring shows the shape: postprandial excursions, overnight behaviour and time in range. Two people with identical A1c can have very different…
Retitled — the original quoted an obesity endpoint as a glycaemic one.
Have you taken this to whoever manages your diabetes?
I would not compare your numbers to that population. Different baseline, different regimen, different trial.
Yes — the person managing your diabetes is the one to talk to, and this board is explicit about that.

Certain conditions affect A1c independently of glycaemia. If a result looks inconsistent with the sensor data, that is a question for whoever manages your care rather than for this board.
Agreed. A1c is an integrated average over roughly three months and treating it as a current reading causes a lot of unnecessary alarm.
