hba1c

Short history, changed GP's recently. Was diagnosed pre-diabetic years ago but never had any treatment or even any follow ups. New GP required a battery of tests including HBA1c, fasting glucose, kidney function etc First HBA1c came back at 54. Fasting glucose was 7.5 Started low carbing in...

Hi everyone. I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes at the end of my pregnancy. My doctor brought forward my 12 week hba1c blood test to 9 weeks postpartum as he wanted to see what was going on with my bloods near the end of my pregnancy. My result came back as 38mmol, I know this isn’t...

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...

Hi everyone. So, my latest hba1c is 94. I am disappointed but i know i can improve. I actaully thought it would be much higher. My ALT is 93/UL i was surprised about this more than my hba1c because i did not cut down on fruit and it has come down. My serum cholesterol is 5.4. I don't know...

Hello everyone, I am 24 years old (M) and i have reactive hypoglycemia. I was diagnosed with RH 6 months ago. I have some questions: My Hba1c is 4.7, is it low? Can RH be a sign of type 1 diabetes? My fasting c-peptide level is 1.1 ng/ml. Have you ever measured it? Is it low ? My (75...

Hi There, I had a recent HBa1c test and was shocked to find that my blood sugar levels had gone up to 45. The last time I was tested was pre lockdown and it was 38 back in Oct 2019. I put the figure into the HbA1c Units Converter- DCCT to IFCC and was surprised to read that it said my blood...

Diagnosed in 2016, aged 27, no family history of type 1 or 2 so came as a complete surprise. I’m an arborist so most of the day I’m up a tree and have had to keep my sugars high to get through the day but it’s now resulted in high hba1c (77mmol). Had a diabetic review yesterday and got a bit...

I was diagnosed with type 2 back in 2017. When diagnosed my Hba1c was 104, three months after it came to 64 and now every time I check I get no more than 42. This month I had a test and I got 41. What do you make of this? Also, my cholesterol, liver, and creatine are well within the range...

Hello! I am popping on here to share support to you all and to say thank you! My name is Natasha I am 45 years old 5 foot 11 and 77kg and live in the UK and work as a music photographer. Last year I had the most awful summer with debilitating pain in my side for months! I tried several times...

Hello, Myself and my husband are wanting to try for our first baby, my last HBA1C was 7.7% (61 mmol) which was 2 months ago. I’ve been trying so hard to get it down which is a battle in itself some days. I was just wondering if anyone had conceived with a higher than recommended HBA1C than...

Happy New Year to this fab community. I find you all so supportive. I was diagnosed in September and managed to get my HbA1c from 53 to 35 in three months. I know that this is a one off and work needs to continue! But I wondered if anyone knows how effected the HbA1c result is by food you ate...

Happy new year to everyone! I hope everyone is having a great news years, I’m just having an ill timed effort to understand the new GMI version of the estimated HbA1c on my dexcom. I’ve had one proper blood test done since it changed over, and it was pretty accurate. BUT. When I looked up the...

I don't know why the OK range is so high up to 59 mmol/mol if taking metformin, it is well above the non diabetic range. HbA1c level is considered OK in NHS, using the NICE guidance: Pregnancy or diet controlled patients <48 mmol/mol Tablet treated 48 - 59 mmol/mol Insulin treated 53 - 59...

Some early Christmas cheer! Just got my (private) blood tests back. My HbA1c is down to 35 after 4 months of moderate low-carb diet, exercise and no medication. :) Minimal weight loss (2kg, BMI 21.7) - have always had normal BMI. Low-carb as in around 50 to 70g Carbs a day, with as large a...

Hello Been a bit of a strange journey for me. Was told I likely had type one diabetes early may this year with a hbA1c of 104. I noticed I was gaining weight with insulin, so I have changed my diet gradually to try and reduce my insulin requirement. I have slowly learnt more and more from...

Got it done this week. Thanks to everyone on this truly great forum for advice along the way! 77 in Oct 2020 55 in March 2021 42 this week BP hovers around 115/70 Cholesterol remains a problem, although Chol/HDL ratio isn't bad at 3.5. (LCHF diet may be a factor in still-high LDL of 5.0, and...

Hi everyone, I've just bought a home test kit Ac1Now. However, I don't know how to read the result. The result of the last test I did at home with Ac1Now was 5.1 and then I went to my GP for another test, and they said the result of my HbA1c was 4.8. I know the self-test kit probably is not 100%...

Hi (This is long I am sorry) I am newly diagnosed T2 diabetes (4 days ago) I was experiencing classic symptom of excessive thirst and peeing a lot. Looking back I had other symptoms such as my hair thinning but I put this down to stress etc. I got a hbac1 test with a chemist and it was...

Hi all, My January HBA1C was 6.4, I had another last Wednesday and got a call just now from the GP Surgery telling me the GP wants to see me to discuss my latest results. Next available apt is Friday which feels a life time away. My anxiety issues don't help, should I be concerned? thanks, Ryan

Hi Got my results back; not a big improvement from 60 in November and 58. Not quite sure how to bring it down anymore than 2 points or more. I'm back in the gym now but not sure for how long.. i cut out the gliclazide since starting gym and I'm very hopeful i can bring it down more than 2...
