    What does this mean?

    Hi all- I have two questions I would be so grateful for views on. I had a hba1c result back in October last year. It was 97. I made radical changes and started tracking my blood sugars, did low carb as much as I could. I got my new hb1ac result today and it has gone down to 54. I know this...

    New mum trying to process new result but confused and upset

    Hi all, I’m a bit upset right now and hoping someone on here might understand or shed a little light. Seven months ago I had my first baby. During the latter part of the pregnancy I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes. My hb1ac was 49, just over the limit of 48 but they treated me as...
