HbA1c - a result !!!!!!!

[Hazel]

Hello everyone - I am so excited

As you know I started late Feb this year taking insulin, after a year of ever rising blood glucose levels. Type 2

Just had a call from the DSN at the hospital

HbA1c down from 10.4 to 7.9

Yeah, I am so pleased, not perfect - but so much better.

Just had to share my news

Thank you all for kind wishes and I apologise to anyone who thought I was boasting - I was just so excited.

My long term aim is 6.0, but there is still a long way to go. But for only just over 3 months, 10.4 to 7.9, I am more than happy with.

I think only now I realise just how ill I was last year.

My sincere thanks to everyone on this forum who answered my many questions and of course to the fabulous team at Hairmyres Hospital here in East Kilbride, I don't know who was more excited this afternoon, me or the DSN Jill, when she 'phoned with the results.

This Friday, I attend a one to one mini DAFNE course pilotted at Hairmyres for Type 2s.

So things are really looking up - I may try the lottery this week, I seem to be on a roll.

My thanks again to everyone who has helped me on this journey.

thats great news, any courses are great as we get to learn so much more and I really enjoyed my course as you take the whole week, or however long your couse is and just focus on your diabetes without work/life getting in the way. let us know when you get on it.
