Your doctor knows more about your case, also the doctor who you will visit before taking your decision to have a new baby, bacause the reality often differs than your imaginations in what you had wrote and worried about here.

The A1C is a three month average, so you may just be running high in the last month so it is not showing up on your A1C yet. I would talk t oyour Dr. about adjusting the meds. Or if you want to get a better base reading, i know how horrible it may sound, but try testing every 3 hours from the time you get up to the time you go to bed. Do that for a few days and see if there is a difference in the numbers just from testing more often. Mine tend to go down the more often i test, without me even making adjustments. However if you are still running high even with testing on a schedule, then something needs adjusting. Trust the meter, and if you dont, test it with the strip testing solution and make sure it is calibrated correctly.

Washing your hands carefully and drying before testing?? Using alcohol on finger and not letting it dry before testing?? When are you testing?

The only meter I have found that is exactly with the labs testing my glucose are the One Touch.
The AccuChecks that my insurance company like so much measure 26 points higher!!!

Be careful to wash and rinse hands carefully and don’t put on lotion until after you check glucose level.

Don’t use alcohol on finger then ***** it or you will be testing the glucose level of the alcohol.

Test first thing in the morning when you get out of bed. Test at least 2 hours after a meal.

I am also type 2. My A1C’s run in the high 6’s to low 7’s.
I have never heard of readings anywhere near what you are getting.
Suggest that next time you go for a A1C test take your meter with you and do a test right after the blood is taken. That way you can compare your meter reading with the A1C results.

The 6.4 A1c tells the whole story….youre doing ok. Like me…you probably check more when you feel high…..but youre not as high as you think on a regualr basis.
Doctors are recomending insulin more and more for type 2 diabetics..its much easier….sugars are lower and you are abel to have a broader dier plan. Try an isulin pump….you’ll be miss superdiabetic then.
good luck
