A1c, Glycohemoglobin, HgbA1c

1. My teen's son's A1c is up to 9. He does all his own diabetes care. Many of the numbers on his meter are high. Am I missing something? (29 Sep 2009)
2. Recently, my son has had elevated fasting blood sugars at home. Should I continue to check him, then ask for an A1c or ask for an A1c now? (27 Aug 2009)
3. My teen daughter has been struggling with her A1c. She doesn't want to work to lower it, assuming it will lead to weight gain. How can we convince her she needs to work on lowering it? (29 Jul 2009)
4. Does anyone know where I can find an article regarding how the presence of a diabetes school plan affected the child's final glycohemoglobin? (7 Jun 2009)
5. My recent A1c was 6.6, the same as at diagnosis. The nurse has said the doctor is pleased, but I feel my efforts have been negligible. Should I get a second opinion? (27 Mar 2009)
6. Since trying Glucerna, my husband has extreme stomach gas and constipation. Is the Glucerna causing this? (8 Mar 2009)
7. My son has MODY 2. 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? (7 Jan 2009)
8. What is the current thinking on the effects of higher pre pubertal A1cs? Do higher blood sugars in children pose long term health risks or not? (3 Dec 2008)
9. Why would an A1c be "normal" when the patient often has elevated blood sugars? If prolonged use of metformin can cause kidney damage, is there another safer drug? (24 Oct 2008)
10. Our health insurance provider said our son must have his A1c test done at a separate laboratory. I plan to appeal. Do you have any suggestions to help with this? (7 Oct 2008)
11. Diagnosed with MODY 2, my son's fasting and 2 a.m. blood sugars are slightly elevated. Is there medication to help lower them? What should his A1c be? (21 Sep 2008)
12. What can be done to reduce the risk of dead in bed syndrome? Even if one's A1c is suggestive of not too tight control, could it still allow for many lower readings? (8 Sep 2008)
13. Diagnosed at two, my teen daughter stopped caring about proper care two years ago and has had elevated A1cs and protein in her urine. Isn't she too young for complications? (16 Aug 2008)
14. When diagnosed in January, my son's A1c was 9.0. In July, it was 8.9. We are not yet doing corrections. Should he be in range by now? (15 Aug 2008)
15. Does an A1c of 7.0 mean an average blood glucose of 170 mg/dl [9.4 mmol/L] or 150 mg/dl [8.3 mmol/L]? What is the timeframe the A1c measures? (15 Jul 2008)
16. Since my A1c was 6.5, my doctor said I have diabetes. I asked for an OGTT and am confused about its results. Am I diabetic or not? (15 Jun 2008)
17. Because he was symptomatic, I checked my son's A1c. It was 5.6. I thought a child should be less than 4. Am I wrong? Should he have a glucose tolerance test? (12 May 2008)
18. What's the highest A1c you've ever seen? If it were very high, such as 23.9 at diagnosis, is that likely inaccurate? (17 Mar 2008)
19. Diagnosed at age 11, my 15-year-old daughter's recent A1c was 17? Why would it be so high? (18 Feb 2008)
20. Recent blood work indicated elevated levels of various things and confirmed I'm still anemic. Would my recent elevated A1c (8.7) explain the other elevated readings? (4 Feb 2008)
