I mentioned elsewhere that I went for blood tests this morning for my HbA1c. Not sure when I will get the results as I don't have an appointment yet for the review, but if you'd like to guess what it might be (in old money - haven't got to grips with the new numbers yet!) my last one was 5.4% and before that I was (I think) 5.6, 5.6, 5.9 🙂

Will I stay in the 5% club? 🙂
 
4.8 i think
 
4.8 i think

Don't think it will go into the 4s Gail, the lowest I've had was 5.2% and that was early on when I was getting a lot of hypos 😱 You never know though! It occurred to me last night that I was a bit annoyed when I got an 8.9 (high for me), thinking grr, just before my test - although I keep telling people that one reading will have no impact on their HbA1c! 🙄

Yes, of course it will 5.6 I think 🙂 Sheena
 
I'll go with another 5.4%. 🙂

I reckon, 5.0
 
I'm going for 5.7 - does the winner get a prize? :D
 
I'm going for 5.8% because it's coming up to winter 🙂
 
I'm going for 5.3% Good luck x
 
5.1 seeing it hasn't been taken, funny feeling it could be in the high 4's given your excellent fasting readings.
 
I'll go for....you are cured and a non-diabetic 😉
 
But then I'd be ostracised from the forum! (Not pleasant, I've heard 😱)

Apologies in advance - does that mean you'd have to stick your head in a bucket of sand?
 
This feels like a 5.7% to me. I hope you don't mind me sharing the large expected prize?

Andy 🙂

Prize???????? Oh right, 5.8 then, due to excitement of the meetup🙂
 
Most numbers seem to have been taken so I'll plump for 5.5 and share the prize with whoever else has chosen that. 🙂 XXXXX
