From my doc, that the WHO have just revised their recommended upper figure for HbA1c from 6 to 7%. This after years of beating me morally about the head for not managing to get it under 6%.
This, too, after I read last week that there is a higher incidence of cardiovascular events* among diabetics who strive to get their HbA1c under 7% than among those who remain a bit over.
Personal observation: fasting blood glucose < 120** => I feel like shit. 130 < FBG < 140 => I feel fine.
*event: medical euphemism for one's personal WW2, Hiroshima, 1970 World Cup, etc.
** conversion factor is 18.
