My latest HbA1c blood test results arrived today.

It's 37.8 ...it has gone up by 0.8 but I am still very happy considering the fact that I have been eating so much Chinese buffet, festive season, lack of exercise during the winter months and so much stress from work.

Hurayyyy !!!!

Hi @NewTD2,

Great to see your post and congrats on your HbA1c. Huge achievement -- especially when your diet hasn't been quite as strict as before.

Hurray!

Hi @NewTD2 -- yes, I remember those times well when you first joined the forum. You've done really well since then.

Can really empathize with having a stressful job -- makes it hard sometimes to find time to prepare (low-carb) food and to exercise.

I am doing fine. I am on semester break right now, so things have calmed down a bit. Three and half years on low-carb and blood sugars are still normal -- so very happy about this.

How has your doc reacted to your excellent HbA1c levels?

So glad to hear from you and I am very grateful for your words of wisdom !

My doctor told me, "oh you're absolutely fine now, just eat... you'll be alright!"

She doesn't have a clue so I am just going to continue doing what I have been doing - low-carb, lots of healthy fats, exercise.
