Thankyou. Yes I think I’m going to wait now till after Christmas as it will take a week or so I guess to become negative.

Thankyou yes I think once it’s over I will get the hba1c test done just to see where I am! I’m hoping the covid doesn’t affect it too much.

Oh I have posted here quite a few times earlier in the year as I was diagnosed prediabetic 2 years ago with hba1c of 42 and my doctor sent me on a nhs course and I got it down to 35 this year in February a year later by going low carb. I was happy with that but couldn’t figure it out as I was...

So I’ve posted a few times this past year as I was prediabetic and got my hba1c back into normal zone doing low carb and moderate fat but I keep getting told it’s not reversing our insulin resistance it’s just a band aid? I’m getting so fed up with conflicting info and what sort of diet to...

Can I just ask when my hba1c was 42 wasn’t that prediabetic??? I’m so confused as apt of the forums I was on and have now left as it was getting too much would say 42 is equal to A1C of 6 which is well into prediabetes???? Or is the Uk 42 something totally different??

Thank you for this I’m also in the middle of perimenopause which I read can also raise blood sugars and cause more anxiety! I’ve locked away the monitor now won’t be using it !!!

To be honest it’s all the Facebook groups I’m in telling me that even though now I’m back into normal level I still need to test. I was diagnosed with hba1c of 42 and got it down to 35 but they say I still need to test as my A1C could be normal but my fasting will tell me if things are getting...

Can I ask i know i shoudnt have but I tested my blood sugar just before lunch and it was 6.5!!!! Surely that’s diabetic? I had a very low carb breakfast so it shoudnt be so high before lunch I don’t know what to do but I’m so sure my hba1c was wrong because I would be seeing better numbers. I...

I didn’t realise 42 was still considered normal I thought it was prediabetes. But I just want to clarify I was diagnosed with hba1c November 2021 at 42 six months later was retested and hadn’t changed my diet at all really just gave up snacks and my hba1c was 42 and my doctor said it was fine...

But I was prediabetic at 42? I was told it was prediabetes and sent on this online nhs course. I just started retesting and was quite pleased with my numbers then this morning was quite surprised that it was a lot higher. Do people with normal hba1cs have readings like this sometimes i just...

Hi I’ve posted a few times before regarding my anxiety with my prediabetes diagnosis. I managed to get my hba-c down from 42 to 35 in about 6 months. Now recently I’ve been checking my fasting numbers again and they have all been within the normal range apart from this morning and I’m freaked...

Oh really the dawn phenomenon you tested?? So it kept rising if you didn’t eat anything as that’s what I’ve noticed but i thought if I was back in normal numbers that would have gone away but maybe not.

Did you take anything to bring it up from 3.2?? I am wondering as I’m doing low carb and occasionally see these now numbers not on any medication just diet

Are you able to find a salami with no sugar? So can’t seem to find one is it ok to eat some of the ones that have a very small amount of sugar??

Ok I have been very low carb maybe I will add a few more back in and see what happens
