I sincerely hope you are mis remembering..When my HBA1c went down from 85 on diagnosis (last Sept 2017) to 38 (Jan 2018), my Endocrinologist said I was in "remission".
And these are the things she mentioned...
An HBA1c of 32 and below is considered "non-diabetic".
From 33 to 39 is considered "normal".
An HBA1c of 40-48 is high.
49 and above is very high.
Yes I thought that is unusual when I read it. To answer when I considered I was in remission. That would have been the point my spikes/avg BG/blood pressure all took a stepwise drop by quite a substantial amount. After this I was able to eat anything and I continuously returned HbA1c of 33 no matter what I ate. This was between 3 and 6 months after diagnosis. Note at 3 months I still had a non-D HbA1c (40) but my body wasn't responding to carbs like it does now. By the way that step wise change was at the point of 15% weight loss and not 15kg as often talked about under newcastle diets (I was heavier than 100kg on diagnosis)I sincerely hope you are mis remembering..
How can "non-diabetic" be lower than "normal"? Doesn't make sense, if you are non diabetic then surely that should be below 42 which is the pre-diabetes cut-off level.
Anything below that should be considered "normal"
Aww thank you. I am already happy with myself and my efforts even though I often feel as if I'm floundering in the dark! Without this site I don't know how I would cope with all the hurdles that present themselves, but over the last few weeks I have seen my fasting numbers drop from the 7's to the 5's (with occasional 6 thrown in) This morning my fasting blood glucose was 5.1 which I think is my lowest yet!Go for the lowest you can get without hurting yourself
There are plenty of people on here who have reversed their diabetes. Or whatever way they want to describe it. Its a long adventure. Just try and keep on top of it. Smile at the naysayers, and know you are doin the right thing.
Wow! You must be so proud of yourself! I hope to be able to achieve what you have one dayYes I thought that is unusual when I read it. To answer when I considered I was in remission.
