Type 2: What are your most recent HBA1C results?

[Bluetit1802]

I am on Metformin 850 mg×2

OK that's fine.

For an HbA1c you need to aim for below 41 (5.9%)
So you have already achieved that. Well done!

Thank you so much. I could do it because of the motivation and knowledge being shared in this group.

The hard part is maintaining that level! I think your doctor mentioned 7% because that is the stage he is likely to increase your medication if you slip.

HOw did you get your levels down?

We are all individuals with different approaches, needs and tastes. If you ask this question in the forum under the 'Ask A Question' section you will get many more opinions and ideas than going to PM with a single member. What works for me may not work for you so getting the story and experience of just one person with Diabetes does not necessarily mean that it will be the right approach for you as an individual. Almost all of us have to do some adjusting or tweaking. Hope this helps.

I just got my A1c back and I am so happy. It was 38 (or 5.6% in the old money). Cholesterol was 3.5. Trigs was 0.6.

I have a really great care team, a very supportive wife and lots of good advice from this forum. Thank you to everyone.

I eat a lower carb diet, abour 120 grams of carb per day. I keep the saturated fats as low as possible. I aim for 15,000 steps per day. I am on Metformin XR 500mg x 1 per day.

Everyone knows my feelings about the HbA1c test. Too many anomalies for my liking.

And just to add ..... it isn't a competition!

What are your feelings Bluetit, I haven't heard them before? And what anomalies?
I took the plunge and asked for an HbA1c 6 months on from the last one [43] and know I haven't been low carbing as I should have been so await results with trepidation. I just had it today so will get it online next week. I do need a kick up the bum but also hope it hasn't gone over 48. We'll see ...
