I saw the Diabetes Nurse today and got the good news that my Hba1c has gone from 66 (this time last year) to 39 today. I am so pleased and I am determined to continue eating low carb and to lose the rest of the weight (still quite a bit) to get down to a healthy BMI. When I first was diagnosed...

Hi I’m new here! I’m type 1 diabetic, diagnosed several months ago and I have just got back my second HbA1C result and it’s 5.5% and I was told that it’s too low… curious to know if other T1D have been told the same? Also just to add that I eat a plant-based diet which is high in carbs...

Hello, not been here for a long time My hba1c used to be 52 well controlled I think. Past year: Lost Mum, had a new hip and had to be circumcised :-( Just had an Hba1c result of 96 = 9.1 I asked the doctor if what I have been through could be the part cause. all he said was I will up your...

Good Afternoon All I was pre-diabetic up until May 2021 when my HBA1C jumped to 50. It was still 50 in July 2021 and I've just had November's back as 46 (Provisional and needs a diabetic nurse review). I've been on Metformin 2 500 tablets a day and I started Ozempic 0.5 in September 2021 and...

Hi All, Just got a1c results and they were higher than expected. I use a CPAP machine and have an abnormally high haemoglobin count due this. As its the glycated haemoglobin that is measured to get the hbA1C, I wonder if anyone knows how a high haemoglobin count might affect the hba1c result.

3 months have passed since my diagnosis. I was admitted to the hospital with an astonishing 14.3% HbA1C. I had a new blood test last week, I received the results, and my A1C is 5.9%, which is - I would say - beyond perfect. I hope I can keep this value for a long time! Cheers!

Hi, I was diagnosed with diabetes at 12 weeks of pregnancy, my blood sugar at diagnoses was 19.1 after high sugar drink and high carb meal. My hba1c is around 40-41. Endocrinologist put me on 2 units rapid action before meals and 3 units basal before bed. I’ve tested positive for some type 1...

Hi, After a first diagnosis based on an oral glucose test value of 12 .1, my Hba1c was 45. Weight loss of 16 kilos led 1.5 year later to an Hba1c of 44.,Thus stayed like this for 4 years. Now last July a surprising 48. My reaction was quite resigned, I didn’t change that much but my result...

so I got my results back today from last week, this was my first hba1c since being diagnosed 3 months ago! I can confirm my hba1c is 5% (31)!!!! Completely normal!! I’m so happy, my doctor said he’s extremely pleased with how I’ve been doing, and that it’s very rare he gets a result like that...

I've always struggled with accepting my condition ever since I was diagnosed and I've had some awful experiences with my medical team which have furthered these negativities. I thought I had conquered this in achieving a Hba1c of 44 but went off the rails again and my Hba1c is back up at 103...

Once again I am indebted to the advice I received from the forum in January. As I posted last week, my HBA1C has gone from 61 to 39, my cholesterol from 8.7 to 5.9, my liver results are normal and my IBS has completely disappeared. From the forum I was put in touch with the Daily Mail and it...

I was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes in January. My HBA1C was 61. I had evidence of a fatty liver and my cholesterol had been high for years. I originally took dietary advice from the practice nurse. I was advised the usual plate system with eating starchy carbohydrates such as she said...

so 4 weeks ago I had a blood test as my periods were playing up, had a phone call to say my blood glucose levels were high, my hba1c was 8.4, so 4 weeks later just my second blood test to ‘confirm it’, my hb1ac was 7.7...which I guess mean I’m type 2 diabetic.....I’m gutted and very upset I’ve...

My latest HbA1c blood test results arrived today. It's 37.8 ...it has gone up by 0.8 but I am still very happy considering the fact that I have been eating so much Chinese buffet, festive season, lack of exercise during the winter months and so much stress from work. Hurayyyy !!!!

So I had my second blood test today to confirm if I have diabetes or not....I mentioned in my first post I was told my number was 8.4, which was my hba1c result I think converted the new way it’s 68mmol/mol....so I am very nervous now they said they should get my results back tomorrow. I have...

I'm so happy I could burst! Can't contain it..! :happy: I felt so unwell for so long before my diagnosis, I put it down to being of a certain age and just having more off days than good days. So when I had my initial blood test, it came as a relief, so to speak, that there was a reason. Three...

Finally had my complete "New Starter" visit at Diabetes clinic, and they seemed happy 90+ % of BS readings in the correct range now ; Insulin slightly reduced 2x10 instead of 2x12 daily ; Hb1Ac on diagnosis (Dec 18) was 131 ! ; now down to 69 . What else do I now need to look at?

Hi all, any experience from anyone who’s had this would be welcome. When I wake up at night or in the morning, my hands feel numb & swollen, and my fingers tingle and I struggle to grip for any length of time (including my smartphone—Sacre bleu!). The numbness mostly wears off but the tingling...

I have been on Libre for more than 4 years now with varying success. My last 4 sensors have been reading 2.5-3 mmol/l below my bg results 10min prior. I presume it's been like this for a while as my HbA1c came in around 2.5-3 above my Libreview predicted HbA1c Has anyone else experienced...
