1st hb1ac

[RozeeC]

Diagnosed in April with hb1ac of 87, just had my 1st check and its dropped to 48.
I'm so chuffed with myself, still more work to do and being put onto a new medication, an injection once a week but have to see the nurse about that.
Oh and I've managed to shift 17lbs in weight too.

OUTSTANDING Start @RozeeC

i say start because from now on your taking care of YOU,
in the best ways you know how.

Getting as much knowledge as possible AND putting it into action.

Not everybody does that ....or does it SO WELL.

That’s brilliant RozeeC ! Very well done! you’ve practically halved it in just a few months. Great weight loss too.
Is your new medication related to diabetes?

 

[RozeeC]

yes the new meds are diabetic related, I cant remember what she said it's called, began with G.
Changed my metformin too as it was giving me really bad tummy pains

Could it be gliclazide?

Fantastic result Rozee, the HbA1c result and your weight loss. If the new med is Gliclazide be sure they prescribe testing kit and you learn about hypos and how to treat them. Keep up the good work!

Well done RozeeC.
I know it isn't easy.

 

[Barba_Rossa]

What a great result. A huge well done!

 

[RozeeC]

I think that's what the GP said, I have an appt with the diabetes nurse and GP said she will explain everything and show me how to inject.
Bit scary!

Oh that’s not Gliclazide then, Gliclazide is a tablet.

I think she mentioned GLP1???? She didnt go into much detail, said the nurse would explain

Hi all
Quick update on my last post.
2nd Hb1ac is now at 38!!!!
The medication I was talking about is Ozempic which I've been on for 3 months now.
I've also just hit my 28lbs weight loss.

So life is good and all numbers going down in the right direction
