I am not sure what to do and wonder if someone who has a gentle touch with words can help.A close friend of mine Type 2 is a tiny bit hung up with finger prick numbers ( I sort of understand now why many GPs don't encourage it). She watches her carb content and has an Hba1c test coming up soon. All her numbers have been below 6 and she was very happy. Today she contacted me and told me she tested and it was 7. I haven't got back to her yet and not too sure what to say, other than 7 is fine and also the Hba1c is an average of 3 months so one 7 shouldn't make much difference. I think that is correct but wanted to check before I said anything and made a!monimental error. She is so upset and won't join this forum. Thanks in advance.
