▲ 20 r/G6PD

My G6PD caused me to have incorrect A1c test results.

Your G6PD can cause your A1C results to be artificially low. A1C is a measure of the accumulated sugar in your red blood cell over time. High red blood cell turnover and make your blood cell population young and lower the amount of accumulated sugar in it that is detectable by the test.

This happened to me and my Dr missed it except I was taking my blood sugar manually. He thought I was cured and that my high glucose in the test results was because I did not fast. But I did and I showed him the numbers I have seen tracking. Also I have had unusually low A1C's in the past. Diabetes doesn't magically go away. Took him a bit to see what I was talking about. American Dr don't know shit about G6PD.
