I agree completely. What the double-digit A1c people need first is to understand where they are headed, which the test substantiates if the practitioner has the nerve to spell it out. What to do about it is a different part of the problem. I am paywalled out of the article, but the word 'routine' is grievously vague to me. It could mean anything from an annual A1c to quarterly A1c's, with glucose monitoring anywhere from hourly to never.
