I had my 3rd HbA1c test this morning and its 5.0 %. 3 months ago it was 5.3 % , 3 months before that 9.7 % on diagnosis. On the way down.

My first HBA1C since diagnosis was last week and it was 39mmol/mol which I think translates to 5.7%

That made me very happyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy :D

6.4 I do believe, or around that. It has dropped considerably over the years but definitely needs to come down a bit more!!

Mines come down a lot (for me that is), after some intensive blood measuring and insulin adjustments.
Was 12.7 (12 months ago). 2 months ago it was 9.7.
Now being layed up with Charcot's foot my levels have increased due to inactivity so will need to have another go to bring it down

My HbA1c was 6.5% when I was diagnosed due for a retest soon so hopefully it will be even better.... I was diagnosed with type 1 at 21 thank god I looked after myself!

My last Hba1C earlier in the year was 11.8 (I think), it had come down from 12.9.

I've had a very bad history with my Hba1C results, not a single one has been below 9...

Just come back from my first HbA1c since being diagnosed, was 8.2 at the start, today it was 7.5 so I'm going in the right direction :)

My last Hba1c was 36 which converts to 5.4%. I'm generally below 6.2% on average, but it's not easy :)

hello all, im new to the forums, so just wanted to share my latest resoults. was diagnosed with diabetes 1 and a half year ago, and now im 18 years old. when i was diagnosed my HbA1c was 12.8, 3 months later i was on 7.2. my latest resoults during 2012 has been 5.8, 6.0 and 5.9 so i guess i got pretty good controle over it :) I am taking insulin manually, and i prefer it that way, not sure if it will stay more stabil than it already is if i change to a pump

My last result was 5.9. I seriously wonder if I still need to take the accursed metformin. Will discuss with GP on next visit. He is a diabetic specialist and a great believer in metformin so I do just follow his guidelines. As far as medical staff go, I think that I have been the lucky one
