The GP HbA1c test is a measure of your average blood glucose over the previous 12 weeks so tends to be a better marker of your blood glucose. Don't be disheartened - Your GP test result will be a picture of the previous 12 weeks. You know how to get your HbA1c down so maybe try those approaches to food and exercise again and request a GP re-test in 12 weeks <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
