4 Months and Amazing HbA1c Result!

Hi All,


A tad confused but also really happy at my progress (thanks to all the good people on here) giving me help and pointing me in the right directions…


Basically saw my Dr four months ago where he diagnosed me in May with my HbA1c of 103. He said to come back in 4 months and see how I was doing, so last week popped in and saw him.


I told him what I’d been up to and he said he'd like to do my HbA1c again and a cholesterol test as he was very concerned that I had been following advice from the forum, ignoring NHS advice and doing a LCHF diet.


Long story short I’m a tad confused but happy as HbA1c Sept


May - HbA1c - 103

Sept - HbA1c - 37


So I’m over the moon with that result, so I’ve allowed myself to go out and have a small packet of walkers crisps!


I’ve got the diabetic nurse to see (previously scheduled) on Friday but all things considered thanks everyone, and I won’t believe the result until I carry on with everything I’m doing, continue with my weight loss (I was obese [just] ) now just overweight, for another 3 months and see what my HbA1c come out as then.


Everyone - THANK YOU!
 
Thanks everyone, and @Squire I've no idea what the Dr is going to think, other than approve... I have to add that I had to question the receptionist as she kept saying all my results were 'Normal' and I had to add sorry but could you please give me the readings...

Still Diabetic nurse on Friday, lets see what she says other than perhaps the doctor would like to see me...
