A1c and fasting numbers are not accurate for checking what your blood sugar is doing on a daily basis if you are not full blown diabetic.

I was told by doctors I was fine.

On my own I bought a meter. I was not fine. I was prediabetic and fully on my way to a nightmare. I am so glad I took matters into my own hands. Doctors don't care until it is too late.

The ONLY way to know how food is affecting your blood is to use a meter 1 hour after eating and 2 hours after eating. At 1 hour is the highest peak and at 2 hours it should be back down. If you eat 1 cup of white rice and you check 1 hour after first bite and the number is above 150 then I would be concerned. Nerve damage begins at 150. And while a doctor will say you are ok, truth is you are NOT. Normal numbers should not reach 150 and up after a meal.

My pn is worse at night. As with everything, even a cold, it is always worse at night. sucks
