Only for about 3 weeks! lol My readings were high as my old doc kept changing my medication when I was under control with a hba1c of 54. I got fed up and went to see another doc who increased my metformin and gave me gliclazide to help get me back under control. The doc also suggested that I...

I am yet to receive a new date for my op. I have to speak with the nurse at the hospital on Monday. I assume she will want my hba1c lower before she gives me a new date?! I have managed to reduce the average over 90 days results on my daily bg meter from 13mmol/L to 9.8mmol/L in just under 3...

Re: Could this really work to lower my hba1c result quickly? Thought so Sam :D Thanks for that! To be honest I have virtually cut out carbs and got my average blood glucose level down from 13mmol/L to 9.8mmol/L within 3 weeks (average over the last 90 days, according to my daily readings...

I agree that there has to be some degree of error but what concerned me is that the results are different by 7mmol/L :( I suppose I wouldn't be so bothered if the higher reading hadn't just delayed my op :(

Re: Could this really work to lower my hba1c result quickly? I know hun and thanx for your comment. The only reason my hba1c was higher was because of my doc changing my medication and me becoming intolerant of carbs. My diet is quite good otherwise. I suppose I'm just really frustrated as my...

U would think they would be more accurate than that wouldn't you?! lol Think I will ask for a recount.

Hi, I wonder if anyone can help me out please? I am due an op for a gastric sleeve in 5 weeks so had to have my hba1c checked as part of my pre assessment. I had 2 tests done at different hospitals (one for my regular check at the docs and one for the hospital where I will be having my op)...

I have suffered from ins for years. I too suffered with upset stomach on the normal version. I now take 2000mg sr per day. It is a little better but to be honest, it didn't really change much. I ended up taking at least one diacalm daily to try to ease symptoms. However, due to recently becoming...

Re: Could this really work to lower my hba1c result quickly? Oh also might add that I have discovered that I have become extremely carb sensitive which is also raising my bg. I have reduced my carb intake to 50g per day, eating anything else with no limits. To my astonishment I have also last...

I have been searching to see if it is possible to influence the hba1c test. I am due an op for bariatric surgery in nov/dec and have recently found out that if my test is above 67, my op will have to be postponed until I get my average result down. I might add that my hba1c was at 54 until the...
