I'm not sure if I need any advice on this - just to keep going on as before - but I thought I'd get more sense in this forum than from my GP.
HbA1c July 2021: 40
November 23: 47 "acceptable - continue to monitor"
March 2025: 45 "Referral to NDPP (National Diabetes Prevention Programme) within 4 weeks"
I then applied to the in-person meetings, which I am in the middle of - final meeting is 4.2.1026
I also ate fairly low carb and followed Jason Fung's recommendation of 24-hour and even 36-hour fasts. Weight has gone down from 130kg to 123kg. I hope it will continue to go down without resorting to weight-loss jabs
September 2025: 45 "Acceptable/stable for this patient. Continue to monitor. This test should be used for monitoring of long-term glycemic control in patients with a known/established diagnosis of diabetes"
I had expected the score to improve. I will of course mention it at the next pre-diabetes group meeting (done by InHealth) but it seems the presenters are not experts and have just done 6 weeks' training. They recommend the Eatwell Guide of course.
I will continue to eat low carb. I have got a glucose monitor and fasting rates in the morning are always high.
The March 25 reading followed 3 months including lots of carbs at Christmas.
Many thanks for any opinions.
