Just got my 2nd HbA1c results - a couple of questions

[lechiffre1969]

I was diagnosed in mid January. My HbA1c was 126 and my cholesterol was 7.5. Just got a text from the doctor with my results. My HbA1c is down to 70 and my cholesterol down to 2.7. Yes!!!

I know my target range for HbA1c should be 20 - 42. If I keep going in the right direction, how long before I expect to get pre-diabetic or even normal range? My fasting BS in the morning is 7.4 mmol and 2 hours after lunch it was 7.6 mmol today - which is relatively typical of my daily readings. I've noticed that these readings have started to stablise and I'm not seeing significant reductions as I was seeing in the first few weeks post diagnosis.

Any thoughts most welcome! Thank you.

I found a stepped instead of linear decrease post remission.
Your body will plateu at certain times as it's used to higher readings.
Keep going with low carb, weight loss and exercise.

I was stuck for months with a FBG in the mid 5s then one week I hit the low 4s.
Wasn't doing anything different, remember marathon not a sprint

Well done on a great drop- that is wonderful news.

Our bodies are all different and it may be that your body is taking some time to reset to a new normal. What amount of carbs are you eating?
