will a cold virus affect my hba1c test ?

No. The HbA1c is an average of the last three months glycation levels. It is heavily weighted from your previous 4-6 weeks of test. Get well soon.

Like others said, it won't skew the results, and I'm sure you'll see an improvement.

Get well soon! Said one sore throat to the other. *hatchoo!*

I'm gonna bet it will be a case of punching the air in triumph and grinning like a Cheshire cat for a fortnight!

Ha ha love that I'm grinning like a Cheshire cat right now , I've just come from the dentist and the gums are healing still need improvement , but the dentist was impressed and with the LCHF diet too and could see my weight loss . She said high sugar can cause gum disease so getting the sugar right down is going to improve my gums.

So just made a flask of coffee with double cream and going for a walk in the woods with hubby on our day off . First we will go to see my mum and make sure she is okay but the sun is shining and its a good start to the week
