Type 1: What are your HbA1c test results?

[Tom Green]

I'm
. I'm still learning, everyone is different. I'm type 2, what are you? Once I hit 5.5 or 5 I usually go hypo but several times when Im in 6's I go shaky. I'm usually in high 6's or 7's in mornings I'm still learning. I've learnt a great deal from the people on this form, good luck

What is your Hba1C? It sounds like those are your test readings.

Type 2 too. I was referred to hospital with abnormal liver readings and subsequently diagnosed with metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes. Low carb definitely makes me feel better and I've lost weight and returned liver readings to normal.
I'd have never known I was diabetic as I've never experienced any of the symptoms.

My hba1c was 5.9% (41mmol/mol) few days ago when I had my test but I said my bgs are usually in the 6/7s in the mornings. What's your hba1c?

Well good luck. Glad your feeling better

Sure feels that way- you hit the nail on the head there !

Yeah well i done 27 years and my morning averages at 9mmol, my doc said this morning to call back in three weeks if i'm still having trouble correcting my morning highs. Oh it's always causing problems, if i hit the gym again the highs will turn into nocturnal hypos, so it is chasing ya tail a bit.

Hi there,
Buy yourself a copy of Ginger Vieira's book : "Your diabetes science experiment " - it will help you regain control of your BGs post exercise, etc.

Best wishes,
Conrad

I'm just wondering if anyone can help me . I've only been diagnosed about a month so I'm new to all this .
I'm experiencing an uncomfortable feeling in the back of my legs . It's like I've been on my feet all day and my legs ache . It's becoming more frequently aswell . If I take some ibuprofen it seems to ease for a while .
Any thoughts would be great. Many thanks in advance .

Down from 7.5% to 6.5% in 3 months, my nurse and GP are thrilled that LCHF is working, and I've lost 12lbs since this time last year without doing without!

my was Hb1ac 5.9 3 months ago (was 8.1 ) hoping next one will be under 6 again when I have it tested next week. I am type 2 and on insulin 3 x nova rapid before meals, 1 Lantus before bed, could not tolerate metformin hence the insulin best thing I ever did, I also eat most things exept sugar but I do regulate my insulin with different doses, depending what I have to eat,carbs etc. and I have never felt better.
