A1c, Glycohemoglobin, HgbA1c

1. Diagnosed at two, my teen daughter stopped caring about proper care two years ago and has had elevated A1cs and protein in her urine. Isn't she too young for complications? (16 Aug 2008)
2. When diagnosed in January, my son's A1c was 9.0. In July, it was 8.9. We are not yet doing corrections. Should he be in range by now? (15 Aug 2008)
3. Does an A1c of 7.0 mean an average blood glucose of 170 mg/dl [9.4 mmol/L] or 150 mg/dl [8.3 mmol/L]? What is the timeframe the A1c measures? (15 Jul 2008)
4. Since my A1c was 6.5, my doctor said I have diabetes. I asked for an OGTT and am confused about its results. Am I diabetic or not? (15 Jun 2008)
5. Because he was symptomatic, I checked my son's A1c. It was 5.6. I thought a child should be less than 4. Am I wrong? Should he have a glucose tolerance test? (12 May 2008)
6. What's the highest A1c you've ever seen? If it were very high, such as 23.9 at diagnosis, is that likely inaccurate? (17 Mar 2008)
7. Diagnosed at age 11, my 15-year-old daughter's recent A1c was 17? Why would it be so high? (18 Feb 2008)
8. Recent blood work indicated elevated levels of various things and confirmed I'm still anemic. Would my recent elevated A1c (8.7) explain the other elevated readings? (4 Feb 2008)
9. My 19-year-old's endocrinologist was happy with my son's 7.2 A1c, but I feel he should have suggested some adjustments. Should we find another endocrinologist? (31 Jan 2008)
10. How can I convince the doctors that I am doing all in my power to take care of my daughter's diabetes, that her high A1c was due to a malfunctioning meter and puberty? (29 Jan 2008)
11. My teen son's blood sugars fluctuate quite a bit and his recent A1c was 11.1. Could he be building up a tolerance to his NovoLog? Could he have an uderlying condition? (28 Jan 2008)
12. My teen son uses a pump. He boluses four to eight units, relying on his 26.6 units of basal to help cover food. Is this causing his high A1c? (14 Jan 2008)
13. An endocrinologist said my daughter's A1c of 5.0 was not normal, but told me to stop checking her. Do you know of any other endocrinologists in Maine besides the ones in Portland? (14 Jan 2008)
14. By accident, an A1c was drawn on a two-month-old. The result was 2.6. Should I be concerned? (9 Jan 2008)
15. A young teen patient has consistent elevated A1cs, but normal readings on her glucometer. CGMS use showed 25% of the glucoses were high. What do you think is going on? (23 Dec 2007)
16. Is the A1c not a strong indicator of true average blood glucose levels in type 1 diabetics as I recently read? (16 Dec 2007)
17. Is it possible for an A1c to be swayed by the actual blood sugar reading at the blood draw time? (25 Nov 2007)
18. What effect will donating blood every eight weeks have on A1c results? My results are consistently lower than I expect them to be. (17 Nov 2007)
19. Our daughter's A1c has gone from 5.2 to 5.5. Is this increase in A1c significant? She's had some random elevated blood sugars.Is she moving toward diabetes? (25 Oct 2007)
20. Despite elevated readings, my doctor said I do not have diabetes because my A1c was only 5.1. Could my A1c have been low because I was eating only twice a day and had lower blood sugars? (24 Sep 2007)
