Hi all, I got my results back today, I've gone from 57% to 49%. I meant to ask what I should be at. Please forgive my ignorance but I figure this forum would be much more accurate than google

I hope that you've got your units wrong there..
It's probably gone from 57 mmol/m to 49 mmol/m
T2 is considered 48 mmol/m or over and pre-diabetes is between 42 and 47 mmol/m
So a great improvement indeed.
If you can get below 40 mmol/m then that would be really good.

Thanks very much, I've dropped about 20 pound, had a knee replacement so hopefully getting more mobile some day soon

let me clarify the two different units used to measure HbA1cs the older measurement used in the U.K. was a percentage the newer one the one @bulkbiker quotes is mmol/mol. Here are the ranges:

• HbA1c below 42 mmol/mol (6.0%): Non-diabetic
• HbA1c between 42 and 47 mmol/mol (6.0–6.4%): Impaired glucose regulation (IGR) or Prediabetes
• HbA1c of 48 mmol/mol (6.5%) or over: Type 2 diabetes

Thanks for clearing things up,
My nurse was pleased with the results so it does look like I've mixed the units. I didn't want to ask her, I have autism, recently diagnosed and some days are much better than others for asking questions

We're always here if you have any questions.. and often give better more complete answers than HCP's...

You are doing really well with the weight loss and reduction in your HbA1c. Keep up the good work and remember you can always come here for help and I hope your recovery from surgery is speedy.

Very well done! Keep up the great work.

Much appreciated Guzzler, I fully intend to, after lurking in the shadows here reading posts I've learned people are giving this horrible disease a bloody nose every so often . The fight goes on

No way you look like an idiot with this improvement of your hba1c, no matter how bad predictive text scrambles your words!
