Hi all,
I did post this as a reply in another thread, but thought I would ask the question seperately.......
I was 'labelled' at the end of April with a subsequent hb1ac of 97 ..... Which at the time meant nothing, but I subsequently realised was high - and freaked!
I now have embarked on a major diet and exercise regime and have lost 3 stone to date (18st to 15st)
My next hb1ac I think is due in August - but ask what would be a realistic expectation to achieve at this test - any ideas - or is it how long is a piece of string?? I don't want to come away gutted if it is still high.
If it is any help my initial fasting finger prick test on diagnosis was 12, but one take a couple of weeks ago was 6.6.
I'm not doing my own readings - yet, and tbh, I'm still weighing up whether I want to do this.
Any advice or experience please??
Thx
