Hba1c

Hba1c has gone up slightly. 8.3 now was 8.1 last time. But I know with doing more insulin and more tests I can get back into the 7’s.

Hi @diabeticmegxo ,

Somtimes the odd bump happens in the road.

You can do it!

Yes you can do it. And although this has gone up a bit, you can be happy knowing you are back on the path to sensible eating/ injecting.

A1c can have a lab error of up to 5%, therefore 8.1 could be a true value of anything between 7.7 and 8.5 and 8.3 could be a true value of anything between 7.9 and 8.7. Note how much overlap there is between these two ranges, therefore your BG control may not have changed at all, it could even have got a little better.
