Just received a call from my diabetic nurse today saying that my HbAlC has gone down from 85% to 46% (“pre-diabetic range”) according to the HBA1C chart.

And it all happened in just 2.5 months from diagnosis!

I prayed so hard.

Praises and thanks be to God Almighty!!!

Well done, that is an excellent result in such a short time. :)

Do you mind if I point out these figures are not measured in percentages, they are mmol/mol measurements. It is the old style of measurement that is a percentage. Your brilliant 46mmol/mol in old measurements is 6.4% (and is equivalent to an average of 7.6mmol/l (the measurement units we see on our meters). It is all very confusing, but it's what it is! http://www.diabetes.co.uk/hba1c-to-blood-sugar-level-converter.html

I was told by my DN it’s 46%, that’s all.

She said on the phone I’ve fallen into pre-diabetic range and it’s a miracle.

Great news indeed, @NewTD2 !

I'm going to the vampires tomorrow for my HbA1c and thyroid stuff - I've had a disastrous week of blood sugars but *clutches at straws* every hyper has been matched with a hypo so hmmmmmmmmm, maybe I'll get away with it**.

Last time I got my results I was amused that my doctor's receptionist said 'normal' when I asked her what my HbA1c was. If only she knew how hard this type 1 works to show up as 'normal' - i.e. not diabetic - on that test!!!!!!!!!

:rolleyes:

**I know, I know, not desirable. Ho hum. Too much exercise, too much overcorrection of hypos, never mind............

Great results. It also means you are T2, not T1 as your GP suggested .

I know I’ve been stubborn but I want to thank you and I couldn’t have done this without your advice too!

So if my HBA1C has gone down to the “pre-diabetic” range, does that mean I’m T2?

But I haven’t had the GAD and C-peptide tests.
