Type 1: What are your HbA1c test results?

As I said earlier I don't have many hypos and excellent numbers. no swings.
 
Couldn't agree with maggieatansfield more!!!! I'm 20 years down the line and have very good control but for a while I let it take over my life, I was obsessed, the libre didn't help with this. I've since went back to good old finger pricking and with an hba1c of 41 I'm enjoying life and my 2 healthy children again. I also need to add at this point that I try my best to eat good but I do love my carbs and as long as you can get your calculations right then life is for living!!! And btw I don't always get it right, just try my best x

43 (6.1 %) up from 41 (5.9 %). Was told off about the 41 because apparently it's impossible to have that average without me hiding lows...even while wearing a CGM, so nurses were happy I've gone up a bit.
 
My last results was 7.2 mg/dl
after good 6 months from 6.4 and 6.5 mg/dl
 
My HBA1C yesterday was 10.6, same as it was about 3 months ago, which was a bit disheartening as I'd really been trying to done some blood tests.
 
5.0 with the last 1.5 months using the libre with a couple of dodgy sensors reading too low. Libre predicted HbA1c would be 4.2 :-(
 
Delighted to get 4.8% or 29 on my last test. I have really been struggling with my control - recently in the mornings I can't seem to get my numbers up no matter what I do (turn off pump for hours, no IOB, no exercise, eating food - just couldn't make it go up) followed by highs in the afternoon. Last time my endo told me to get my HbA1c up a bit from 4.6 since it was almost too good and she was worried about hypos - pleased to report that not only did I increase the number, but I have not had a proper hypo (<3.9) in ages! Not too happy with my quality of life at the moment, but I'm trying my best and I'm glad my results reflected that.
 
Mine.. Wasn't good.
This prompted a lengthy and thorough ass beating from my specialist.
On the bright side though, I'm now living on a diet of budgie food and walnuts, which should improve things no end. I'll be a skellybob next time I see him.
 
so pleased was 60 now 54 but when diagnosed was 113 just under two years were it dident move much were it went 65-66-64 to 60 so this is progress.
 
Im quite happy with my first hba1c reading of 44. When diagnosed I was 103.
