Early Days But Progress!

Why a year before your next HbA1c @Barbara ? With you being at 52 (I know its not that high) but why are they not testing every 3 months?
 
Just not on offer, annual unless its going up. Athough the doc said carry on monitoring and losing weight and to let her know if I have any concerns, then I can have an earlier HbA1c if I wish!
 
From 63 in April to 52 now is great progress @BarbaraDavies - well done! Keep it up and you should be in the pre-diabetic or non-diabetic range at your next HbA1c test.
My gp surgery also only gives me an HbA1c every 12 months.

Thank you so much for the encouragement, I am so happy to have seen that big drop and have high hopes to go a lot lower in the future.
 
If I wasn't preparing for bariatric surgery I'd be only having yearly too. GP care in past only yearly.
 
Yes Ickihun, I think a lot of surgeries only offer an Annual test, which is fine with me tbh. However if I wasn't monitoring myself I think I'd feel very differently.
