[acb-diabetics] Numbers

[Mike Freeman]

Nancy:

There is some argument on this point. Some studies seem to indicate that
readings two hours after meals that exceed your target (and different
organizations have different targets) may increase slightly the likelihood
of incurring diabetic complications. But this is by no means proven. I tend
to check before meals and occasionally two hours afterward.

On the other hand, with some rare exceptions, your A1C *has* been proven to
have a direct effect upon the likelihood of complications. My doc usually
worries only about A1C if my readings aren't too far out of whack.

I am confused. I want to know what guides progression of the disease your
pre or post meal numbers? Thanks in advance.
