In 1990, its primary mission over, Voyager 1 was instructed to point its camera at Earth, or the Pale Blue Dot, 6 billion kilometers away. VOYAGER 1 has been beaming data to Earth since 1977. But members of mission control at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), in Pasadena, California, are as excited as ever.
Cause of Elevated A1c Levels. The higher your blood sugar levels and the longer your blood sugar remains high, the more excess sugar is present in the blood and the more opportunities this excess sugar has to bond to hemoglobin.
To see if this is the reason that your A1C is high, measure your blood glucose 2 hours after breakfast, lunch, and dinner for several days (in addition to your premeal blood glucose levels).Blood sugar that is more than 200 mg/dl 2 hours after a meal is too high.In addition, your blood glucose may be high throughout the night, when you are asleep. To find out, wake yourself up at 4:00 a.m. several times during the week to check your blood glucose.o an A1C test is a measure of how much of the skins of your red blood cells are splattered with sugar, which in turn gives as a picture of the blood sugar environment in which the cells lived, which in turn gives us a notion of your average blood sugar over the last several months.
