The nurse said I was to take the A1C in one month - I told her I would not take it so soon after the last one - she scheduled an A1C for March 30th - Do you think I should wait another month since it gathers its results from 8-12 weeks prior to test? I have lost 20 lbs since the start of Dr. Barnard's program (Feb 23) but still wonder if I should wait another month before getting my numbers again. What do you and those you talk to think? Your consideration of this question is greatly appreciated - assuming you are still there.

You know how you've been eating/exercising/medicating for the past 6-8 weeks, so the number will give you more data, and you can test again in a while.

(that was a year ago January). I can tell you that my usual 3-month AIC came just after starting the first Kickstart and I went in for the test on the 11th day of starting the Jan. program. Myy number had dropped from 6.4 to 6.0. I credit the program for the improvement. Go ahead and do the AIC now. It can't hurt - and as Serene said, you will have more info to work with. Cheers! All we are saying is "Give Peas a Chance"
