Default Anonymoys poll: What is your kid's most recent a1c?

I ran a poll in a Greek diabetic web site on an average daily fingerstick blood glucose checks. The results so far are at great odds with those of the ongoing poll here. For example, well over 50 of CWD respondents check their BG 7 and above times, whereas in Greece thsi is only 28%. On a more ominous note, 5% of CWD check their BG 3 and less times, whereas in Greece it is 33.4%

It goes without saying that a tighter control means better a1c leveles, and I would like to compare the a1c levels compare between CWD and Greek samples. I therefore and kindly ask those who participated in the fingerstick poll to help out by participating in this mini-poll

Thanks!

An A1C poll was just run a year ago with over 200 responses. You can find it here:

Paula, the poll fingerstick poll is ongoing, you can see it in the main page of the site.

Wilf, thanks, I looked for one but missed it completely. Still, I would appreciate for this poll to go on, for the results to be comparable with the one running on the Greek site.
