[QUOTE="DragonBits, post: 147103, member: 18023"] My problem would be that I pulled an 5.8% A1C once in my life 7 months ago. I agree with you, I was very concerned about an average 120 mg/dl BG and took action to correct it. BTW, this test where I got a 5.8% I ordered myself, I informed my Primary Care Physician, he agreed that he would be willing to prescribe metformin based on those results. He knows I already have metformin, just wanted to have my local PCP be willing to take over prescribing it. The next three A1C tests were 5.6%, 5.2% then 5.3%, with a fasting BG of 88. But the 5.3 was without metformin, just wanted to see if dropping Metf changed my running / cardio ability. And what is my level of glycemic control now that I have lost 33 lbs from 7 months ago. It's probably also significant that I got back on TRT 9 months ago and it takes 3-12 months to maximize glycemic control. I ordered and have taken a OGTT test. I don't have a lot of time to post labs but will do so Wed of next week. But I have moved from insulin resistant to insulin sensitive. Now the only significant thing I could discuss with my PCP is that my BG was perfectly normal outside of I dropped to a very low blood sugar level (40 mg/dl) before my liver started to push out more glucose. If I hadn't done a test, I would have never been aware of it, likely if I had tested 10 min later it would have looked normal. [/QUOTE]
