I had another hba1c test last Wednesday 03.03.20, it came back as 5.4% or 35.5 mmol/mol.
It's slightly up on the previous one a family reunion for the solstice and new years celebrations, my 75th birthday all happening around the same time. Airport and and airline food, various other celebrations starting with 50 years ago all contributed to the slight rise.
Still eating a moderate lchf food stuff with plenty of meat, speed bump has now disappeared and were almost straighlining...
I've been averaging 15 throughout the day for a couple of months.
I went from metformin (had been on for 7 years - just got sick of the side effects, along with gliclazide for the last couple of years) to empagliflozin, then high dosage of gliclazide alone, now I've been put on glimepiride, lowest dose. I've also been referred to the Diabetes Nurse again.
No idea why it's so high, no drugs seems to be having an effect on it, I'm getting rather concerned now.
