I am concerned about his A1c being too high, but several doctors have said not to worry, given the current regimen. Should I stop worrying? http://www.childrenwithdiabetes.com/dteam/2009-01/d_0d_ffk.htm http://www.childrenwithdiabetes.com/dteam/2009-01/d_0d_ffk.htm Wed, 07 Jan 2009 21:30:11 EST My non diabetic son's ICA 512 went from -11 to -7 in a year.

Some of his random readings were elevated, but the blood work done by the doctor does not indicate diabetes. What should I do?
