Thanks, but it was my own fault, playing football. Two months is a bit much IMO and I need to have a word with my tendons.It will heal quicker because of your sugar levels, and you probably had enough energy to cause it in the first place! Always look on the bright side.
And superb hba1c results!
(I'm a on a tablet so no idea what these emoji are...!!!)
I struggled with a similar problem for a long time until I found a sympathetic physio. Six sessions of ultrasound treatment did the trick, the inflammation subsided and the tendon healed. Good luck with your recovery!

Really well done! a bang normal HbA1c!I’m posting here as I feel like a dog with two tails!
A1C test results today show I’m no longer pre diabetic
I think for me it’s very much still work in progress, I’ve a little weight to go to be happy. I’ll be happier if everything is still on track in another 6 months.View attachment 65807

I'll have a small whisky on your behalf tonight.Thanks Kenny,
Yes I arrived on places like this only a few months ago like a dear in the headlights.
This place helped no end , great advice and then it all falls into place.
Yes of course we all need willpower and determination but far better than the possible alternate future.
Cheers guys ( ****** I’m tea-total presently)
I listen to lots of low carb podcasts, as no doubt you do too, and particularly enjoy Dr Eric Westmans keto made simple series - it's generally very informative. Not sure which one but he has an episode which has a segment about Hba1c and how it can be inaccurate especially in keto or carnivore as the good nutrition can mean that red blood cell turnover is less rapid. This means as red blood cells live longer they are more likely to have more glucose recorded. He believes, if remember rightly, that hba1c is not the best test for long term keto or carnivore - food for thought. May be worth some research I've been wondering if mine goes up but I've remained Keto would it be worth looking at other tests too. Presume too that your finger prick tests are generally unchanged?
That's correct, nothing out of the ordinary - 4.5 just now. Interesting point about RBC longevity. I haven't changed anything and either my "system" is changing, the test is on the edge of acceptable inaccuracy, or there is another, unknown, factor. I've had a couple of 38 results so a 40, given variation, shouldn't be a surprise. I'm going to stick with the simplest solution for now.
You are absolutely right: this site is a god send for all of us. I think that you yourself are a great part of that too....I know I've benefited from responses you've given and also from the Low Carb Skipton group you welcomed me to!!! So... thank you and please do keep on doing what you do ...for your own fabulous good health and for all our good health too!!!!
