Why are my HbA1c test results still abnormal. I don’t understand!

There are very, very few T1's with an hba1c in the normal range, which is below 42.

And for many of us it would actually be dangerous to try to get down to the 'normal' levels - for myself at least it would involve a lot of hypos which well, lets not!!

It would be useful to know your actual result so you can compare it with the previous one, hopefully that would show an improvement, even if it’s still not in the normal range.

February results
 
45 is perfectly fine for a T1, I spent 40ish years well above that, only just got to around that value (45) recently - since CGM came in actually

I wouldn't worry at all, that's just the triage note, we have that at work when we triage blood results too, we choose between normal, abnormal but exoected and abnormal too. Normal parameters for blood sugar are below 42 so anything 41 or less would say normal. And tbh it almost always probably will say abnormal for a T1, T2s might be more likely to see a 'normal' result. 45 is excellent, I got 49 last time and I was happy, but would like to get to a level like yours!
