47 - I Got To 47 :)

So I got my latest hba1c results at my diabetic clinic at the hospital this morning and it was even better than last time - down from 49 to 47 - the 49 was Nov last year, the 47 was 2 weeks ago (previous to that it had been mid 50's to mid 60's for a number of years)
In other words I actually achieved a pre-diabetes number - not something I ever ever thought I'd get - so I'm a happy bunny - ok happier than normal, I still whinge and complain a lot about everything.

I put this entirely down to having the Libre, since I can see what's going on and it has made me test a lot more often than I used to - I use to have dubious levels of control for many many years with fewer tests than avdised by a long way - it's only taken 40 years to get to good numbers lol.

Also they're going to write a letter to my docs to suggest that Fiasp should be prescribed instead of Novosluggish as its annoying me something rotten (sometimes takes about 6 hours to do its work - not helpful) - will have to chase the docs next week.

And yes I realise its not a non-diabetic number, but I suspect I will never get there without an artificial pancreas (or other tech - they wont let me have a pump) - so I count 47 as a success

PS. sorry if this post seems disjointed at times - that's just how my brain works - also I'm in a rush cos my power will disappear anytime after 5 mins from now (new elec meter being installed this afternoon) and my work laptops battery died yesterday so doesn't work without being plugged in anymore.

Thanks, though admittedly it's still nowhere near a flattish line on my Libre, its still rather roller-coastery - I think the lows cancel out the highs - d'oh!

Hehe, not tonight, tomorrow yes though - friday night is gaming night (boardgaming and wargaming) and the place where I play said games is right next to the local social club, so as well as it being gaming night its also cheap drinks night - and I normally get a lift there.

I realise I'm resurrecting my old thread, but I'm feeling even more smug now
Had another HbA1c (they wanted one 3 months after the carb counting course - so the one in August for the diabetic clinic woulda been too early), and these are my results:

So yeah, I'm surprised.

I think the fact that my basal was reduced whilst at the carb counting course may have really helped as it probably means less going low overnight followed by highs, changing to Fiasp about a month ago may or may not have helped - bit chaotic at times but when it works it does work very nicely - though sometimes it can be nearly as sluggish as Novosluggish - I think it's currently thinking about maybe doing something after lunch (which was 2.5 hours ago ...).

Thanks guys/girls
Now I've just gotta try and keep it at that level - and hope it wasn't a one off fluke
