Had my results today from last week's hba1c -56 been told this is ok, is it really?
 
That's an Hba1c of 7.3% in old money Jess, if it's lower than your last one then it is OK, but they recommend now that people should try to aim for a Hba1c of 48 (6.5%) if possible.

The NICE hba1c target is 6.5% but hospital consultants will only recommend this if it can be achieved without too many hypos. If it cant, then an a1c of about 7% will also be ok.
