Awareness of all measures of glycemia, including self monitoring of blood
glucose results and A1C, provide the best information to assess glycemic control.2
Regular Blood glucose testing can help lower A1C; conducting 3 self-tests
per day has been associated with a 1.0% drop in A1C.2
Lower A1C leads to better health outcomes: a 1.0% reduction in A1C has been
shown to lower the risk of microvascular complications (eye, kidney, and nerve diseases) by 40%.3
