My HBA1c Estimate

[bennyg70]

I was really bored at work, we havnt got much on in the tendering department at the moment. So I thought Id take it upon my self to instead of estimating Metal work for the nuclear industry, I'd estimate my HBA1c.

I thought you would be all thrilled to share in my boredom!

Interestingly my last HBA1c was 6.4%. I do think I have improved a fair bit, however there was also XMAS! I know that the HBA1c is heavier influenced by the past couple of months, but Ive gone by 3.

Each catorgory I have estimated independantly and not tried to engineer any numbers. This is purely my own veiw of my control.

So heres hoping Im any good at my job!

You have WAY to much time on your hands 🙂 Will be interesting to see how close you've got to the real thing though.

impressive reading...you must have some time on your hands 😉 I think you might be a little lower at 6.1.

Re-looking at it, I think Ive undercooked the ammount of "Mediocre nights", Missed a couple of small periods off illness, however overdone it on the post meal spikes off 11mmol for an hour. This usually happens at breakfast (Im working on this) but not necessarily Lunch and dinner. So swings and round abouts.

Ill stick with it. And if I come near the 6.4mmol of last time ill be a happy bunny. To come under would be marvelous! Writing things like this down as a veiw of my diabetes control has also helped me highlight what areas I need to improve on to.

And yes, The time I currently have on my hands is a disgrace. Hopefulyl When a few things hit, Youll not hear from me for a while 😛

Mike your not one of my bosses are you? 😱
Managing directors called Mike, met him once... Cant really remember him...Uh oh.

Quick Benny, whisper where you head office is, cos I know roughly where Mike lives ......

Regarding your A1c, I actually had blood taken on New Year's Eve for mine. Think our hospital lab machine must be stuck at 6.5, same as it was in November !

Ha, what a way to bring in the new year!!

Its in Wolverhampton, soon to be relocated to the local job centre though if our suspisions are right!!

I had two seperate ones done, One by the nurse at my Gps, and one by the clinic I go to for blood pressure and they both came out at 6.4% 1 month apart!

My last HbA was 10.8, but if things keep on as they have the next one should be significantly lower, like about half that if my app is right. If it is you'll need to pick me up off the floor and my jaw will have a huge bruise.

Most impressive calculations Benny. (Don't let on but I think Mike was concerned that if you get busy it's because something went BOOM! And we're all glowing in the dark).

Very impressive calculations!

I too have a little time on my hands at work, but not being mathematically minded could not produce anything like this! Do hope your calcs are spot on!

Tee hee! Nope, not really managing director material me 🙂

Jus wondering if those 'few things hit' Bruce Banner style and you might end up as some sort of T1 superhero... BG control superpowers except if confronted by the deadly krypto-lantus "Don't make me hypo, you wouldn't like me when I'm hypo..." etc

Hope your A1c estimating works out right and that you get a result you are overjoyed with - you've certainly been putting the work in 🙂

A new style terminator machine man maybe - Quite simply - The T1. Sent back in time to stop you eating all those sugary snacks that apparently caused our diabetes.... Or something like that 😛

Ah well, Benny, that was tried in the 1930s wasn't it. Lasted to the early 1950 when I was little.

Except the person that caused it to come about wasn't quite exactly yer conventional idea of a super hero.........

Did it actually stop people catching diabetes though? Dunno meself!
