The problem with the HbA1c Mike is that there's some doubt as to it's value. There's a view that it only shows your blood sugars on the date and time of the test and cannot give a clear average of your bloods over three months. I'm not sure how the testing is carried out and therefore not sure how reliable the results are. I do my morning test when I get up and usually test at night before bed. If I'm below 6, I've found my chances of a hypo during the night are much greater. Other than that I usually only test if I feel ill or the dog starts fussing at me (she usually catches a hypo before I do).
