Fasting levels are not a good predictor or necessarily a good indication of HbA1c as the fasting measurement is a snapshot of blood sugars at one specific time A1c gives a value for the average BS over several weeks and will be effected by levels between the individual tests you may have done.
Remiss of me welcome to the club.
Diagnosis of Diabetes normally requires two A1c tests showing diabetic levels interspaced by several weeks.
Great HbA1c, bloods great as well - I am very jealous! Well done.5.4 this morning. Absolutely delighted, and even more delighted with my three month review figures. Posted elsewhere about that but punching the air happy today
Well if you need to there are home test kits available though as I have never used one I cant swear to their accuracy or ease of use others on this site have used them.So can I monitor HBA1C at home ?
Thanks
Oh yeah.It’s definitely a marathon, one where the finish line keeps moving it seems.
Good luck and look forward to you being a regular here.12.4

4.9 today I am beginning to wonder if achieving low fbg should be our ambition or keeping our over all levels within range is what should be our main aim going to extremes inorder to maintain a very low fbg may infact be counter productive.
The extremes I went to inorder to get rid of a lot of weight over 8 stones and bring down blood sugars including fbg ie between 600 and 800 calories a day and less than 50 grams normally less than 30 per day of carb for over 18 months did me more harm than good I now think.
4.5 today. Worlds most boring diet doing its job
