The Etiquette of the A1C

November 30, 2018
Have you ever wondered why so many people share their A1C’s online? I have.
I recognize that having a low A1C is something most people with diabetes strive for, and it’s an accomplishment one would certainly want to celebrate (especially if they worked hard to achieve it), but sometimes I wonder if there’s too much focus placed on just one tool that measures our blood sugar control. I’m also curious about how sharing one’s A1C can emotionally affect the other T1D’s around them.
