Mid October I was told I was prediabetic with a habc1 test result of 42. Since then I have purchased a home test monitor (Connect Next One) and have been testing myself for the last two weeks every other day: fasting tests and before and after evening meals (sorry to repeat myself if you have read my posts in the other forums).
I appreciate that the habc1 test is an average over 2/3 months and home test is a result “as it is now” but so far all my home test results have been within what is classified as “normal non-diabetic” parameters. Obviously I am very pleased about this I’m but somewhat surprised as all I have done since mid October is make a few changes in my diet (I have always done a lot of exercise/sport, so no change needed there).
I am planning to continue my home testing schedule for at least another month but I was wondering what other people’s experiences were as regards the habc1 test vs home testing results.
