Not sure on the meds front,Scarlet but how about reading the diet advice here and seeing if any of it may help you reduce your Hba1c without extra medications?

Hi Scarlet.
I am slightly confused here ? Are you saying that you are on NO medication, or are you saying that the medication you are on is just not working ?
The HbA1c is definitely high and needs to be reduced. Let us know how you get on tomorrow.

Hi Scarlet.
Thanks for that.
I think that in the circumstances it would be better to see what the Endocrinologist says and then get back to us with any questions. Maybe we can help better after we know a little more facts.

7.7 not too bad ? Not really jovifreak.
HbA1c is reported as a percentage of the total amount of haemoglobin in the blood. If you have diabetes and your HbA1c is below the target of 7% it is likely that your diabetes is in good control. If your HbA1c rises above 7%, you are at increased risk of developing long term complications such as eye disease, kidney disease or nerve damage.
