I just got my HBA1C test results back.
43 which I believe is fractionally above normal. Cholesterol of 3.7 and BP 132/72.

Can HBA1C results be too low for diabetics or am I at risk of hypoglycemia?

I was feeling quite pleased with myself but now I am thinking on it as everywhere I read seems to say 48 for diabetics?

Are you on medication that can cause hypos, like gliclazide or insulin?

I am on slow release Metformin and one aloglyptin in the morning.

Those medications don't hold a risk of hypos, well done!

I wonder at what level they might think of me stopping meds?
