Dave, diabetes is rather maddening.
But you know, it takes 3 months or more to make a visible change in the A1C. Your changes are more recent than that.
Also the A1C can reflect high post meal levels, and then your levels can be relatively normal the rest of the day. So in some respects, it is not 100% reliable.
There are some papers appearing that A1C varies with age and race too. I think we will see the A1C data changing in the near future. I personally don't think it is "cast in stone" by any means.
Also all the meds you take may be influencing things. Not all drugs have been tested to see how they affect blood sugars.
High stress also releases cortisol, and this will raise blood sugar levels too. Lots of things can be going on, therefore.
