Just got back from hols and checked the Surgery for my online HbA1c result of the blood test I gave just before I went away.
Quite surprised to find it was again 27 or 4.6 in old money. I was quite ill for a couple of weeks after Christmas with a sore throat and cold with quite elevated (for me) blood sugars. Very pleased with this one so thought I'd share.
Just about to shower and weigh in to see if any damage caused by eating breakfast at hotel for a week... we shall see.

Very encouraging, Bulkbiker!
The thing is, you know what works, and you stick to it: I took a few leaves out of your book when I first got diagnosed, and it helped me a lot. Still, nice to see that week or two of higher days of sugars didn't skew the overall average too much.

The work involved in these types of numbers should never be underestimated. I actually have to spend a little bit of time researching each week to keep myself motivated. also the delicious food and the IF also help.

Well done @bulkbiker You must be very relieved to see that 27, as it confirms the first one wasn't some sort of fluke.
You are working very hard for these results.

Hi Bulkbiker,
Really well done. The Hba1c is great. My last two (taken 4 months apart) have both been 4.9% which I and my doctor thought was good but yours is better! Keep up the good work.
