[QUOTE="cugila, post: 79535, member: 15325"] Hi Em. Some information about HbA1c . The full resource it is taken from is here: [url=http://medweb.bham.ac.uk/easdec/prevention/HBA1c%20&%20type%201%20diabetes.htm]http://medweb.bham.ac.uk/easdec/prevent ... abetes.htm[/url] Extract: HbA1c measures the amount of glucose attached to the red blood cells The HbA1c gives a good guide to the blood glucose level over the previous 8-10 weeks. It is used as a measure of long-term Diabetic control. The usual result in someone without diabetes is 4.0-6.0%. The best result in Diabetes is 6.0-7.0%. At this level most long term complications can be prevented, whilst at the same time avoiding severe hypos (hypoglycaemia). Below this level there is a higher risk of a bad hypos. Above this level there is an increased risk of complications. Before conception and during pregnancy, slightly lower levels are preferred. That's what most HCP's aim for. A lower level is always a bonus and a goal if it can be achieved. Ken. [/QUOTE]
