Re: Increased HbA1C with Age

[Guest guest]

Thanks Barbara, unfortunately they specifically excluded people with Diabetes by

design. I still found it very interesting and reviewed it and a couple of it's

references. It did indicate a slight increase for every year (.012 or .03

depending on something I didn't understand). If I use my calculator and start

at age 65 that is 6.62 and 6.80 at age 75, they quote 6.60 and 6.83 in those 10

years. If my math is still good and not affected by modern math that means you

would have to be 115 to have an acceptable A1C of 8.0 and when I reach that

milestone I don't give a shit, I'm going to have some birthday cake!
