New hba1c results

[Jamiedean]

Hello every one just a quick one, I had my bloods done on Friday and just rang and got my results today. When I was first diagnosed 6month ago I was 103.7, then 3month later around 58 I think, then today 47. Is this a good level to be at or should it be lower?
Thanks jamie

Congratulations, that is a very, very good HbA1c

Sure go lower, there is always room for improvement. But bear in mind that a good HbA1c with regular hypos is nothingmore than a meaningless number.

Congratulations on your 47mmol/mol, I need to get back down there again!

47 is good - its the diagnostic cut off point between diabetic and pre diabetic.

Have you read the book "think like a pancreas"? It's a good guide on the basics you need to know for how to manage type 1.

@Jamiedean, here is the book that @catapillar kindly suggested:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B06XCDTPP1/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8&btkr=1

I like the Kindle edition as I can reference things via my smartphone when I'm on the go. Whereas an actual book tends to stay at home. It's personal preference though, of course

You must be doing something right as that's a great result, I have yet to get a HbA1c below 52 so I take my virtual hat off to you

Don't be surprised if your consultant/doctor or whoever says that's a bit low you must be suffering from lots of hypos (whether they look at your past BG readings or not) and that you should aim for a slightly higher number! Only you know the real story, and it only affects you so it's up to you in the end.

A great result so well done!
