Don't usually post from work, but I just got the results from the HbA1c test I had last week and wanted to share with people who do actually know what it means without me having to explain!
What a palava :roll: They were back on Monday, but I couldn't get them because the doctor had not read them. I was supposed to ring back yesterday, but was out most of the day and forgot :roll:
Rang this morning, just to be told they were "normal" by the receptinsist. I asked for the specific number, she told me she wasn't qualified to tell me what it meant and that it wasn't there anyway and a doctor would call me. 2.30 and no doctors phone call (hardly urgent :roll: ) so I call back and another receptionist give me the actual result.
6% :mrgreen: down from 7% in May and 7.8% in March
I started metformin yesterday and expect to see more improvement at the next test, so keep a space for me on the 5% couch. Anyway, I'm really pleased and know that the 5s are in my sights!
Thanks to everyone here for all the advice and support over the last few months!
