A1c level and mmlol/L do not be confused. july 17. 2018

In understanding of diabetes there are so many issue that confused, misused, and eventually misleading. One of those issue is level of sugar in blood.
     The level of sugar in blood is not constant. It is all the time in moving from high to low and vise versa. But still, diagnose of diabetes made on the level of sugar in blood, not consistent test. Take this the same test  from other place of human body, and result would be dramatically different. When we take our test from fingers, just take level of sugar from another finger, and there are difference in reading up to 10 digits.  So, when reading is 204 mg/dl it is diabetes. But reading taken from another finfer gave 199 mg/dl. It is not diabetes.
      There are many different official organizations which provide guidance to clinics how to diagnose or confirm diagnose of diabetes. One of the most common test is fasting level of sugar. At first, if this is really fasting level of sugar? There is no one test to confirm this clime. And difference in reading is dramatic. Another point is, diabetes, as it is presented, low ability of body to process food. Fasting mean that there is at least 5 hours without food. So what? All readings returned back to normal. But as soon as diabetic start to eat, sugar rises and go up and up  and up, up to 5 hours in the row before it start to drop and finally drops to the normal level. Now clinic test if person diabetic or not. How they can find the right answer? In non diabetic body sugar returned back to normal withing less then 2 hours. In diabetic's body it takes 5, 6, or more hours. Eventually sugar will start to drop. And eventually one moment sugar would be normal. So, if tested person diabetic or not?

A1C level	Estimated average blood sugar level
5 percent	97 mg/dL (5.4 mmol/L)
6 percent	126 mg/dL (7 mmol/L)
7 percent	154 mg/dL (8.5 mmol/L)
8 percent	183 mg/dL (10.2 mmol/L)
9 percent	212 mg/dL (11.8 mmol/L)
10 percent	240 mg/dL (13.3 mmol/L)
11 percent	269 mg/dL (14.9 mmol/L)
12 percent	298 mg/dL (16.5 mmol/L)
13 percent	326 mg/dL (18.1 mmol/L)
14 percent	355 mg/dL (19.7 mmol/L)                  It is very easy to confuse, what is this table about? So, people take a look at the glucose meter, see 269 mg/dl and pretend they do have A1c = 12%. It is not. 298 mg/dl is not the same as A1c=12% . Then they present, they control blood sugar with diet and work outs and Metformin. When any one diabetic type 2 start to try to control sugar level with this regime, they fail. Why? Because  A1c=12% is so high blood sugar level, diabetic on the last stage to be able to be saved. But 298 mg/dl it only moderately increased level of sugar, and of cause it can be reduced with temporary reduced amount of meal.
