Todays result 43.
Near enough to last years 42 for things to be considered stable.

Last month my diabetic nurse said I was in remission after my HbA1c result was 42.
In 2020 I was diagnosed T2 with HbA1c at 52. I'm really grateful for this forum, especially to the member who said I could get into normal range without any drugs fairly easily. I literally only took 2 Metformin tablets, they made me feel dreadful, I couldn't focus on anyone speaking to me, my train of thought was mush, my vision became erratic, and I'll spare you the details of what my digestive system was doing. On this forum's advice I bought a glucose meter despite getting a lecture from the pharmacist who tried to dissuade me from buying one.
Life got in the way of me buckling down on a sustained low carb diet, I always seemed to be falling off for reasons such as my husband's serious illness, me being admitted to hospital for 10 days on suspicion of having sepsis, and a 5 day stay in hospital having a new aortic valve fitted. But since 1st June I've been strictly under 20g of carbs per day. My brother joined me on the diet on 1st June as he was on the cusp of being pre-diabetic. His AbA1c has gone down from 41 to being 38 in just 2 months. To date he's managed to lose 14kg, while I've lost 10kg.
Sorry if this post is a bit wordy.

50mmol/mol on diagnosis Dec 19, 36 in April 2020. Last one was 34, due for another test (yearly now) in October.
I hope it was okay for me to start this thread.I know T1s have a thread for results,so I thought why not do one for t2s

My latest HbA1c results were 36, a couple of months ago. I've been hovering fairly steadily around that number for the past 7 years now. I don't know exactly what my HbA1c was when diagnosed, as I was diagnosed on finger pricks (I made a curve at home with some numbers above 20), so by the time my first HbA1c got done I'd already started both medication and dietary changes. I think the first HbA1c was somewhere around 75, the next was 42, and I've been in the normal range for ever after. Congrats on your steady improvement!

Welcome. And yes, it is scary. And then, I hope, you read a bunch of people here who have gotten their diabetes thoroughly under control, and I'm keeping my fingers crossed that'll give you something to hold on to.
You'll be okay.

Welcome @AmandaBee. You've landed on the right place to learn about controlling T2. Remember all of us have had to start where you are now, so don't be afraid to ask any questions you might have. The only silly question is the one you don't ask.
I was diagnosed with an hb1ac of 106 in March this year, which had dropped to 53 when re-tested in June and 43 when tested again earlier this month.
