There's some people that their red blood cells stick around longer.
So it sort of artificially pushes the test in this one direction.
And a lot of people started noticing it because they would do, I'm an investor in a company called Levels.
They would do these CGMs, whether through Levels or just going directly to, you know,
um, any one of these companies, Abbott and, you know, Freestyle Libre and whatever, they would do their glucose.
And then a lot of these companies started offering labs and they would get back their A1C or they would go do their A1C.
And they're like, what is going on?
Like, I don't, I'm like, I'm healthy and like, everything is good, but
like my glucose is in a really good place, but my A1C is really high.
Yeah.
Right?
Again, this is not the vast majority of people that are out there.
No, right, right.
This is like a small subset of individuals.
And they would say, okay, yeah, there's this thing, there's this phenomenon that happens sometimes that people's red blood cells stick around a little bit and you can fact check it with a fasting insulin.
Yeah, yeah, that's a good way to do it.
That's there.
So...
Going back to what you were saying is that when you get your glucose under control, which a part of that, which is also great too, is that any type of resistance training or anything that puts some weight and resistance on your muscles, even rocking can be a good example of that.
