Thanks but when I put in 56 it gives me 3.2%... that can't be right?

Hi all, got my recent hba1c back today. It is 56. What does this convert into in old terms? How do you calculate it... [emoji52] thank you in advance

My thyroid is borderline hypo... I pushed for the tests about 2 years ago because I was doing SW and losing nothing. My medication has stayed the same. I get blood tests regularly, about every 4 weeks, my basal /Bolus rates are under review because I am pre-pregnancy clinic. I would like to...

I was on WW & SW for approx 6 months each... And about 2 years apart. I tried LCHF for approx 1 month, found it hard to maintain... As I say bi didn't lose any weight on these, I stayed the same

No I never thought of that... My bloods are taken by the nurse every 4 weeks including thyroid. The problem I had with my ratios is solved now. It was an inputting calculation [emoji848]

Can that effect weight?

Hi azure, yes I asked to have my thyroid check after being in slimming world 6 months & there was no change to my weight, despite sticking to it to the letter. The tests showed nothing significant but I was put on a low dose of thyroid medication. I'm still taking it. For the last 6 months I...

So I've tried slimming world, weight watchers & LCHF diets... Nothing seems to works [emoji30] I stay the same weight when doing these diets. When I don't strictly "diet" the weight slowly but surely creeps on... What can I do? What works for others...? I'm type 1 & on insulin pump.

Thank you all! I am pre pregnancy clinic so constant changes to Bolus & basal!

No that's it!! I'm used to DAFNE so it was 10g carbs etc now I understand that the pump is looking for carb grand per 1 unit...and now I understand what my DSN is saying! I hope [emoji854]

Hi all, I posted this issue a month ago thought I was sorted but I'm back to square 1...please help I don't know how to set my ratios... Neither does my nurse. She just keeps making changes to them...I have to make some changes to my Bolus ratios on my Medtronic pump but I'm having problems...

Thanks all.... My DSN has decided to leave my ratios since my last hbA1c came back at 7.7% ....

Thanks but that won't work... Can only enter whole numbers...my DSN doesn't even know [emoji52]

I have to make some changes to my Bolus ratios on my Medtronic pump but I'm having problems converting from a DAFNE ratio to the pumps ratio... e.g. For every 10g of carbs I eat I take 1 unit of insulin. So this goes on the pump Bolus wizard as 10 i.e. 10/1=10. So if my ratio changes to 2.5...

Thank you! What is "strike the spikes"?
