Message: <blockquote data-quote="slip" data-source="post: 2174310" data-attributes="member: 182669">LOL fasting before a hba1c blood test will not affect the result one bit! (It's a measure (of sorts) of the average BG levels over the last ~3months with a slight weighting towards the most recent few weeks - but a hba1c of 12 equates to an average BG of 16mmol) Good to hear he's testing a lot more now, as a result is his bloods slightly better? Is he starting to tweak his dosages more to compensate for BG levels and the amount of carbs he's having?12% hba1c result isn't good though so theres plenty of room for improvement <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" /> having said that I wouldn't aim to lower it radically quickly he could damage his eyes - suggest he works out manually what his average BG test has been this last week, and then next week aim to reduce that slightly, so say by end of Jan hes averaging at the 8 mark. This might give him something to work to/aim for?</blockquote>
