i have high blood glucose and normal hga1c. my glucose runs around 200+. my hga1c is usually 5. 0-6. 0. i was diagnosed when i broke my leg and the hospital perscribed metformin but now my regular physicans don't care what my glucose goes to because "hba1c is the gold standard. ". a week ago my glucose levels went to 500. i happened to have an appointment with my pcp two days later and she was barely concerned. i pleaded and she reluctantly placed me on 1 mg of glimepiride. i don't know at what glucose levels i should seek help at.
