Hba1c test

[HSSS]

@niaz11 well done on reducing your HBA1c to such a level! I too wondered about "being in remission" when I got mine below 42 after a few months of making drastic changes (most importantly low carb diet). I read a few studies where people achieved a big reduction initially like me, but then for some of them it began to slowly creep up. So I took the view I wouldn't consider myself in remission until 12 months had passed and I'd remained below 42.

And I’d add remaining in remission is another thing again. Achieving it is great. Keeping it is even more important/challenging.
I kept it for 4 yrs, til I lost it last hba1c (covid steroids stress). Waiting on results from this test to see where I am now

Sorry didnt know i would cause this much of a debate here hahahaha my doctor says its fine and its something ive done for 20 years before diabetes hit me @catinahat is speaking facts nonetheless.

Don't worry, I don't think certain people read your post correctly or just skimmed it before answering.

Well done you , on achieving your results. Alc of 32, is brilliant. I am sure you can drop the metformin, then you will be truly in remission.
My work colleague will be observing Ramadam, should not be a struggle for you at all. It can be incorporated in your remission strategy.
