All the other stuff much better this time, too. I told him I didn't take the
Antara (expensive pill he gave me last time). He said never mind, I don't

something I didn't quite catch.

Weight down to 169 - probably because of today's fantastic bowel movement...
one of those great ones you really enjoy (maybe you didn't wanna know that).
But I've shrunk to 5' 10" (I'm a dwarf).

I'm thinkin' Baby Back Ribs for midnight grill, tonight. Don't be late. I
wish the girls would go visit their mother again. I wanna grill naked.

lol

I just had my first A1C.

Dr. Bloodbath said it was 5.9.

I have no idea what the number represents, but he seemed pleased and a
little shocked.

5.9 IS EQUIVALENT TO 100.3

It is the meter system. We use it in Canada

Actually, it isn't. We also use mmol/l in Australia.

A1c is not blood glucose, and a BG reading of 5.9 mmol/l is
actually closer to a mg/dl reading of 106.

Personally, I don't agree with the common practice of trying
to relate A1c to a blood glucose average. But, if you must,
the widget Jenny just listed on her blog is one of the
better ones: http://www.widgetbox.com/widget/a1c-converter

That gives:
A1c 5.9 %
Average Blood Glucose in mg/dl 123 mg/dl
Average Blood Glucose in mmol/L 6.8 mmol/L


Cheers, Alan, T2, Australia.

Excellent, a little room to improve but you are doing well. What was your bg
when diagnosed?

No, you're confusing it with a 5.9 BG reading. A1c translates (roughly)
to an average BG over the past 3 months, heavily weighted to the latest
weeks. 5.9 A1c translates to average 133 or 7.4 BG.
