[QUOTE="svgittins, post: 2195892, member: 511839"] Updating this thread for the Greater Good: Here is a summery of my Hb1AC: 117 - July 2019 (diagnosis) 51 - October 2019 44 - October 2019 (privately paid test done 2 weeks after previous one, as I did not trust the result - because of my own BG readings) 38 - January 2019 (results posted on my GPs web site yesterday - I am yet to meet nurse to discuss them) I became much more rigorous about recording BG levels after interaction on this forum in October (as I did with the low-carbness of my diet). So while I am (obviously!) very pleased with my progress, the mySugr app has consistently estimated values for my HbA1C in the low to mid 30s - today's estimate is 34.2 I am not totally sure what to conclude from this other than in my case the mySugr application consistently underestimates my A1Cs which is different to most other people who have reported. It may be my recording is not rigorous enough or perhaps I have more spikes than are typical. One thing I have found out relatively recently is that vigorous exercise (of which I do quite a lot) sends my BG right up (maybe 2 points up). Maybe I should be recording this? Anyhow, having said all, in my case I have really learnt the importance of self testing and am very relieved dietary control has worked so well for me. [/QUOTE]
