[QUOTE="Kipperkid, post: 1508971, member: 419843"] Dec 2016 Hba1c 47 cholesterol 5.7 (no medication) BMI 40 BP 200/90 (no medication) Referred to Slimming World July 2017 Cholesterol 5.2 (no medication) BMI 35.5 BP 125/85 (on medication) The woman I spoke to for the blood test results said I was still prediabetic but couldn't or wouldn't give me actual number for Hba1c so I don't know if it has improved or not. I think I will make an appointment to see the GP and ask for that information. My question is basically how consistent is Hba1c as an indicator of how close to diabetic I am? i.e. if Hba1c goes down from 47 to 45 (for example) does that mean I have reduced my insulin resistance/I am less at risk of T2 or can it vary by several points without there having been any improvement in my state of health? Hope that makes sense........ [/QUOTE]
