Type 1: What are your HbA1c test results?

Hello Clive, I've been all over the place . I'm seeing my doctor in eight weeks again to see if I can get this upward trend reversed the only thing he was happy about was my kidney function was up to 60 from 37 four months ago.
So strict control is the order of the day.

 

mines is 9.0 first time back to single numbers having gotten a scolding from docs on the 7th
heading the right way

 

Noticed you liked my post. 7.9 isn't a bad result. I'm loave to give advice as my diabetic nurse always says she's never come across results like mine and doesn't know how I do it!

 

Well done, are you type 2 though?

 

How do you do this? Please teach us. haha

My A1C is around the same but I test often..

 

Hi Phil,
Welcome to the madhouse and you have my sympathy for the diagnosis.

That said, you've joined the club at an excellent time and started in the right place!

You'll have a lot to learn (as will your family), but we'll all try to help point you in the right direction, so don't ever shy away from asking a question no matter how silly you think it sounds!

For starters, I recommend you start at the home page of the website and then browse through some sections on T1, diet, medications, targets and tests.

This will give you the basis of knowledge about the condition and what's involved... knowledge is power, and the more knowledgeable you are about it, the better off you will be.

Very best wishes,
Conrad

 

9 months in .. was 16% when in ... now 9.8% still **** acording to RA team

 

Mine started at 107 and has dropped to 83mmol/mol.
Is there a range that it should be in? By the looks of it 83 is still quite high

 

My HbA1c was just tested at 40 (6.0 in old money)!

The consultant is now fretting about hypos ....

 

It's funny because if you were able to achieve the guidelines for blood glucose readings (i.e. 4-7 pre meal and below 9 2hrs after eating) I suspect that you would end up with a hba1c way under 6.5. And then you would be told it's too low.

My hba1c always seems to be between 6 and 7 and there are plenty of readings in the teens in a typical month for me

There's also an excellent conversion tool.

 

My HbA1c is 9.5 and due for new 3 monthly test in February. Had steroid injections though which has thrown it all over the place with no rhyme or reason on daily readings. What I am eating is not correlating to my readings so just taking one day at a time at present.

 

Last hba1c 64mmols

 

My last HbA1c was 49 at the end of November, down from 93 3 months before that. According to the mysugr app estimate, I'm at 46.1 now. It was dead on with the 49, so I'll trust it until I get my next test.

 

I've stayed level at 36 / 5.4

 

6.4! First one since being diagnosed July 2015. I'm happy with that

 

32 / 5.1. I have literally no idea how it's that low. I'm assuming exercise has something to do with it! Diagnosed April last year.

 

My HbA1c was 10.5 in November, now it's 9.9 in January. Sigh. At least it's going down.

 

Don't be disheartened; evidence and experiences show that to reduce your HbA1c and associated blood sugar levels too quickly can induce or exacerbate certain complications - especially retinopathy.

Keep on track, review your results at least once every two weeks (and preferably weekly) and adjust your diet and meds (etc) in small quantities - you'll see the effects for yourself and can then revise accordingly.

 

Asked the nurse today for my first reading as the Doc hadn't told me. It's 9.9 - pretty high, so I should be glad I got myself checked and am on the road to better health. The nurse gave me a blood glucose monitoring system, she said reps were always leaving them. I guess I need to evaluate the cost of the strips - and also get it out of the box and stab myself for the first time
