Hi all
Could someone please explain to me in an easy to understand manor exactly how the hba1c is worked out.
I do know or at least think I know by my current hba1c puzzles me slightly. Today I went to the lab and got my result back as 6. However my last hba1c was taken whilst traveling to uk by my gp on mon 13th of feb, the result came back as 6.4. In between my last hba1c and the one I did today I have had terrible blood sugars, quite high due to pregnancy, illness, traveling and managing time zones. I have been really worried to how the last 2 weeks would have effected my hba1c....apparently not by much since I am now 6. I find this a little to good to be true as my sugars are the worst I have seen them since pregnant.
So what I am basically trying to ask is can I relax and assume the last 2 weeks of terrible highs haven't impacted my overall average much or is this going to come back and bite me further down the line?
Your thoughts as always are much appreciated.
