Yes I'm talking fasting, or first thing in the morning...

Get another doctor!

7.0 at a 1AC is around 126 mg/dl which is the mark of the curse up
here...in the UK 6.8mmol is. So 7.0 * 18.06= roughly 126 or 127 give or
take. At 140mg/dl or 7.8mmol you are doing permenent damage to your body
(sludge is collecting in your arteries). Which leads to blockage, clots,
strokes, leg loss, nerve damage and blindness...

Perhaps you have a older doctor who isn't up to speed.

I have no ciatations I can remember so check it out at
