Type 1: What are your HbA1c test results?

[russo109]

Diagnosed end of April as T1.5. HbA1levels have gone from 114 (12.6%) when first diagnosed to 77 (9.2%) end of May to 52 (7%) last week On Novamix 30 twice daily

Yeah! Started at 67 in January, 44 in April and 40 in August. I'm amazed.

Averages can be misleading though... in the past few weeks I've registered spikes up to 9 or 12 if I've been really stupid. (Pizza)

Mine was 42 = 6%.
I don't think I had one when I was diagnosed but fasting glucose was 20.9.

Satisfied with the result but expected it to be lower.
Had a week on a residential study course where my diet was less controlled and that could have ben the cause but from testing I didn't think it was too bad.

Means I can't relax much.
Appointment with diabetic nurse in a few weeks. Assume I can stay diet controlled.

just been summoned to the doctors and told my latest is 51 was told it needs to be below 47 and she looked baffled as to why I had been told to go up me personally very happy with that as to what it was before insulin 117 don't want to loose hypo awareness

 

[static192]

my last hba1c result was 7.3

 

[mch1966]

I was told my first test after being diagnosed was 54 but don't know what the is as a %

 

[daisy1]

According to the chart I have got 54 is 7.1%.

 

[mch1966]

My hba1c was 8 back in February 2013.

I have done the dafne course two months ago so hopefully should be about 6.
Having new hba1c done this October 2013.

Mine is typically around 6.5. I've been on Mixtard insulin for the last 27 years, twice per day. 5'11 / 165lbs / male - keep fit by cycling, avoiding carbs and I rarely drink alcohol. Everything in moderation

diagnosed august hba1c was 6.7 due back novemeber , think im managing a bit better now and relaxing a bit , majority of time my bg is 5.25.5 goes up slightly to in the 6s and 2 hours after food comes back down again in 5s ,, so I think that's pretty good , I did want it lower , but the diabetic nurse said I have to be careful of hypos and they like it around 7 ??? hmmmm I thought that was still a bit high but 5.5 suits me

I had an outpatient appointment 2 weeks after discharge and my HbA1c was 134 - I presume this was my first ever.

My last one was in June and that was 75.

My next one is the end of this month, and hopefully, that will be lower.

 

[onchy]

Im 37 mmol/mol or 5.5% and grazer you are correct, the normal way to measure it now is in mmol/mol

 

[PaulAuster]

Mine was 6.1 last time.
My control has even improved since then, so I can't wait to see some new results!

 

[Gemima]

Latest today is 8% in old money. Extremely disappointed as its up from 7.6% six months ago, I actually almost cried! 5 years t1 I thought I'd be on track by now

Was 13.9 when diagnosed for type 2 last December and 6 months later, it's down to 6.5. Had another test done last week, waiting on my appointment with the GP to hear more good news...

41 in new money. I don't know the old money as only diagnosed in January. I was told this is too low, and that I may have trouble detecting hypos.

 

[Pez68]

Result yesterday 30 new way, nurse never said anything about this being too low.

I am hoping with juggling my insulin I can get the figure down to a reasonable one.
