Type 1: What are your HbA1c test results?

My HbA1c on diagnosis was 119 in 6 months got it to 39

Now it's 48 so I'm clearly doing something wrong or perhaps it's complacency
 
Had hospital appt yesterday and HbA1c was 47 (down from 64 about 6 months ago)
 
On diagnosis in April this year I was 122 but with insulin and careful food choices have got it down to 55. I would like it to be lower but my DN thinks 55 is ok - I think she wants me to avoid hypos to bring it down any lower.
 
I haven't had my blood taken for a few months now so not sure what it would be at. However, I measure 5-7 times a day, and just checked my machine and it says my 30 day average is 6.1mmol/l so what would that work out as over a 3 month period in terms of the HbA1c. I think I was 55 last time which was in like June. I want to get it under 45 so would that get me under 45 if it was a 3 month average?
 
Diagnosed in 2005 and have ranged from 73 to 61 since then, this year I started a low carb diet and am now down to 47.
 

It is measured both was DCCT which is the old way and my percentage or IFCC which is mmol/mol mine was 5.83% converted means 40.2 mmol/mol!!! Thats from 12.3% converted 111 mmol/mol in April!

When I was diagnosed on 29/2/2016 it was 111 and on Tuesday nurse told me my latest reading was 41 and advised me not to let it go lower for fear of hypo risks.
