A person with undiagnosed Type 2 diabetes should still have a higher than normal A1c, since they shouldn't have lows caused by diabetes medications.
Aren't your lows caused by your meds?

Speaking as a person with type 2, and who experiences a fair share of lows....don't the lows affect the readings of an A1c?
