[QUOTE="ebony321, post: 192247, member: 17199"] Hi, Excellent HBa1c, i do believe that translates to an average BG of 5.6mmol funnily enough! (there is a convertor of HBA1c to Blood Glucose in mmol on the website in the toolbox) It means if you are able to acheive a HBA1c of 5.6% without too many hypo's it indicates that you are very well controlled. Hba1c is an overall look of your diabetes control over the past 90 days (ish) Sounds like your getting everything looked at that you should have, they should have also either asked you beforehand to bring a urine sample, or given you a pot to take to the path lab or your GP to test your kidney function. (has to be the first pee of the day) They should check your feet and injection sites too, eyes aren't too important at your review as you should get invited to a retinal screening annually aswell as check ups at your opticians. Everyone struggles every now and then but getting past that and getting a result like yours is fantastic you should be proud (i know i would be :lol: ) [/QUOTE]
