[QUOTE="VickiT11979, post: 336766, member: 53386"] Hi John, I'm type 1, but your results don't look bad at all! I'd personally try to get my HbA1c a bit lower, but (I have no problem with being corrected if others think I'm wrong) if you're on a sulphonylurea (gliclazide) your nurse shouldn't want you to increase the dose to get this lower, it should be by diet/exercise. If your BGs were out of control before Nov, that's likely to have pushed your A1c up a bit higher, and it should come down now you're getting on top of things again. It looks back at he last 12weeks of glucose levels, though recent sugars have more impact on it. Can you get it done again in 6-8 weeks to get a value reflecting your current control? Your morning rise sounds like the Dawn Phenomenon, most people's livers use more insulin & make more glucose on waking. I hope others can suggest ways to reduce this as I just change my basal insulin rate! Your eGFR is OK as long as you don't have glucose or protein in your urine when the nurse dipsticks it - 60 or more is normal in this case. eGFR is also not reliable if you're over 75 years old. Your triglycerides might have gone up if your sugars haven't been well controlled & should improve if you reduce your carbohydrate intake - that & exercise might increase your HDL cholesterol (the protective cholesterol). I don't see anything really terrible here, and well done on getting back into taking charge of your diabetes! Vicki [/QUOTE]
