[QUOTE="HurricaneHippo, post: 2425907, member: 546796"] Hi everyone new here I was given by HbA1c results today and it was 8.7. But 8.7 what? What’s the metric please? I’m so confused 2 years ago I was diagnosed with diabetes (don’t remember the reading) and put on metformin. I was foolish and refused to take it and wanted to come back in 3 months and show the GP that I can bring it back to prediabetic readings on exercise and diet alone and I did. I kept this up for 2 years but the pandemic and poor food choices have got the better of me this time. I want to do it again this time but the doctor thinks 8.7 is too far gone and I won’t be able to reverse it this time! Is there a chart that shows how bad my readings are please? Is there no way of controlling it again? Is that true? Thanks for reading [/QUOTE]
