@m188213 That's interesting, and may be something you will find when you go to an endocrinologist. Endos say you have diabetes if the A1C is 6.0 or over. The American DIabetes Association says A1C at 7.0. So I err on the side of caution since my A1C is usually 6.0 or 5.9 or once 6.1. That's Diabetes for my endo. I think you'll find that for most. It will be interesting to see what you are told. Since I was low, my endo calls me a controlled diabetic. I take no medicines and I exercise and log in my meals.
I will send you the link tomorrow. I realized I have already deleted today's info. since they're every day, I can't save them all unless there is a reason. Maybe another Mentor has the info. I'll check.
One thing you may find is that the blood glucose kit is free or maybe not. In my case the kit is free, but the strips to read the blood require a prescription. This may vary with insurance; I don't know.
I'll look and see if I can find the links in other places, but will send them tomorrow if I can't locate them today.
It's great that you are being proactive with your diagnosis. Getting ahead of the Diabetes game is having a great attitude and helps control the numbers.
I'll be in touch tomorrow.
