Type 1: What are your HbA1c test results?

[silverbabel]

Daisy, that is still a great Hba1C , I can only wish :lol: Well done

This morning 6.3
Also had flu vaccine this week

 

[kitedoc]

HBAIC 5.3%, on MDI, Actrapid and Levemir - and on very low carb diet.

5.9 last week and it's my best in 5 years or so. Walking daily to work is great for me.

7.2 Hb1c, My worst one for 15 years, I have been trying to stop the lows with some success, Although I use the libre, xdrip etc, I still find the libre not to be very accurate but have just started to calibrate 2 times a day to see if that helps

I love CGM's, but a Libre always ran 20-30 points lower than I was when I tested and compared. It's still invaluable but will throw you off on your levels you think you are at.

72, up a lot in 3 months, it’s the worst result I’ve ever had

 

[MarkHaZ123]

Just had it confirmed on the phone when I spoke to the doc regarding my bloods for other things that my hba1c has reduced

I started the libre in March and Iv managed to reduce it from 70 to 53

How do you folks test HbA1c? We are here in the US, so I am not sure if this is a part of regular blood work over in the UK?

 

[Marie 2]

@eshobabu In the US it's called A1C. A1C and HbA1c are the same thing.

I’ve only had 1 so far and it was 129, got about 2 months til my next one so hoping it will improve!

 

[TashT1]

97 at diagnosis 46 three months later with a libra. I’m doubtful the next one will be so good with murmurings actually being T2 & going off insulin, but we’ll see.

Haven't been able to get mine checked for the last 9 months. Everything stopped with covid. Daily figures have been pretty high though, so I guess it will be up.

 

[Jgibbo13]

So was diagnosed in March and was at 140. Had blood test this week and am at 37. Really happy with that.

Well done you! That's a great result.

60mmol/mol or 7.6%, equivalent to 9.5mmol/l. For me, this score is pretty good. I've struggled for years to keep my average down. After a few months on the Libre I'm just about getting >50% in range (this score matters more to me than the absolute HbA1c figure). A pump would probably improve my figures a lot, but I think I'll need to switch to a low carb diet instead. I doubt the pump approval process will be efficient where I live now. Hackney was brilliant for diabetic care, North Herts not so much.

Was 90 back in March. Had it done in September and it was 64. Now I'm on the libre, started the correct carb counting and havent gone past 13 blood glucose for a week now. Had a few hypos but still learning the best long acting dosage for me since my hypos happen when I'm sleeping. Hopefully next month it comes down because I'm 62% in my target range for my blood glucose with the rest being between 4-4.9, 10-12 and 11% in the 3-3.9 bg levels.

57 back in June was 67 at the start of the year

 

[Chloelox]

Was at 35 in may up at 51 this month !
Very down hearted but I have had a lot of stress and anxiety’s playing a part in my levels. I’m hoping to get back into the 40’s for January. I would be happy with 40’s...
