You make a good point here, and yes IDDM -insulin-dependent (Type 1), NIDDM (Type 2), as you say (although for clarity - it is fairly uncommon, but possible to get adult-onset IDDM).
If you were wanting to capture trends in pre-diabetics and maybe are looking at ranges, as you said, that could be a useful tool, definitely. "Lifestyle, not (directly) health". Hah, next step, watches that take your A1C blood labs (simplifying, but often used to get a good picture of average BGL over the last three months or so).
- lokar 3y agoThe A1C helps, but there are a lot of people who for whatever reason are just not great at taking care of themselves. They don’t do any more reading/research after the Dr explains it to them, they won’t/can’t track carbs and won’t use test stops. They are really disconnected from how their body reacts to food.
