I have clinic at 10.20 in the morning. I have tried very hard and will be devestated if my hb1/a has gone up. 7.4 last time. I really need to get into the 6's. Wish me luck, please.
 
Lots of good luck and hugs Spiritfree🙂
 
Hoping for the best for you spiritfree, and that we'll all be posting our congratulations later! 🙂
 
Hoping the best for you, and your HbA1c comes down. 🙂
 
Good luck Spiritfree, fingers crossed.
 
Result?

Did you get the result you wanted spirit free? I do hope you did.🙂
 
How did you get on Spirit free? Mine is now 64 or 8 in old money. I am not happy and doing all I can to bring it back to a more acceptable level. I described the effort as "walking a tightrope with an elephant on your shoulders" Think that sums it up!! Let us know what yours is and maybe we can walk the tightrope together or you can cheer me on from the sidelines.x
 
My results from clinic, yesterday were all very good except I didn't get a 6's hb wotsit. I'm really quite angry with myself for not getting to where I want to be. But I try so hard. Maybe next time. I was 7.2, in old money. Thanks everyone for your support and help.

Don't be angry with yourself! I do know it can be frustrating and disappointing to not get the result you were hoping for, but it is an improvement so you are heading in the right direction - hopefully next time! 🙂
 
I'm glad there's some improvement, even if it's not quite what you wanted. You'd have had to keep trying, whatever the result had turned out to be. It can never be just one big push and then it's all over, more's the pity. Chin up! 🙂

Hang on a mo lets put this into perspective.........................
Your A1c has gone down so fantastic result. 🙂
If over all you have stable results with not to many highs and lows then you have achieved what you needed. Having a really low A1c gained by loads of lows is not a real result.
Having your results so close (.2) shows you have stable control which you have been gently tweaking so next time you should be there or there about.
All it could take is perhaps checking you aren't spiking to much after meals.

Big round of applause though for a fantastic result. 🙂
