Today's HbA1c result

[IanBish]

Hardly a success story - it's exactly the same as my last test a year ago: 33 mmol/mol. I suppose it just goes to show that, for me, losing a lot of weight has helped keep me in remission, despite eating more carbs.

I’d say it’s a success story. You are still in the non diabetic range and it hasn’t gone up!
As you know I’m in a similar situation, having lost a shed load of weight, although I still take one low dose medication. I eat a few more carbs on high days and holidays but remain low carb otherwise.
Very well done!

Thanks, @Rachox. I meant it's not a success as it hasn't moved. I'm happy, I just want to lose about another 12 pounds and stay there. I'm just wondering what the typical non-diabetic HbA1c is.

I strongly disagree, staying in remission (especially with an HbA1C as low as 33) is a great achievement - I wish it wasn't, because that would mean most people could do it - unfortunately that's not the case.

Thanks, @ianf0ster. I hope it stays around that level.

As an aside, LibreLink estimated my A1C as 31, so not too far off.

An HbA1c of 33 sound like a winner to me @IanBish
