First off it seems that HA1c is not checked during normal physical exams where bloodwork is done. Right now I get them at no cost as part of my research participation at Mayo. WalMart offers them for IIRC about $35.
My last 3 were 03/05/25 6.8 06/05/25 2.7 11/25/25 6.0

As far as HG I can pretty much get it to happen at will. For lunch if I have oatmeal wtih milk and maybe some fruit and wait 2-3 hours to excercise like walking around shopping at WalMart I can feel it start to come on. I'll pop 4-5 4 gram glucose tabs and that usually tames it. Sometimes my eyes will start to flash. If I exercise after I eat it generally doesn't happen. I remember a 5 hour GTT from 40 some years ago. About 2 hours into it they told me to lie down as they were afraid that I would pass out. Nothing ever happened tho. Back then the doc called it reactive hypoglycemia.
I've never been advised to monitor glucose. FWIW I do see an endocrinologist, but she doesn't seem to be concerned about the HG. The couple times I mentioned it, it seems like she didn't hear it. I'm not THAT concerned myself tho I would like to know what could be causing it. Seems like once I get a certain demand for insulin the pancreas overproduces.
