I’m wondering if anyone could offer any advice (non-medical) about a recent HbA1c reading - my husband has been diabetic for 18 months now at first he suffered a lot of hypos but pretty much has them under control. He wears the freestyle LibreLinkUp so checks his levels with that but also does finger prick. His levels are in range with probably about one hypo still a month (I know this is a lot but it’s early days!) he ranges from about 5-14 but when he gets a 14 he tends to act on it and give himself some insulin. The nurses have offered advice along the way and said he’s doing well.
His recent hba1c however came back at 41??? My husband rang the nurse as he said he hasn’t been low or had loads of hypos so couldn’t understand this reading. The nurse said it was concerning and that she thought his body had too much insulin but now we don’t know what to do? He can’t just stop giving himself insulin??
