I would be pleased with those results. You are well within guidelines for daily testing. 4-7 is the figure to aim for on fasting. Under 8.5(?) 2 hrs after meals.
Well done on the weight loss :mrgreen:

An HBA1C test shows what your average blood sugar has been over the previous 3 months. So having two tests only a month apart, it isn't surprising that there is not a huge difference to be seen. This is why it is recommended that HBA1Cs should be done with at least a 3 month gap between them. Your surgery should know this so it's surprising that they agreed to two tests so closely spaced.
