HBA1C And sugar in food

[Healthier]

Hi but if a strange question but I am havin my HBA1C done today after month of hard work losing a stone.
BUT last night I lost my head and ate a magnum! Kicking myself.

do you think this may give me a bad reading?
I will reschedule if yes.
the last thing I want is more meds.
I know it’s meant to be an average read but worrying it could still affect it.

blummin magnum ice creams and their addictive qualities!

Don’t worry. The HBa1c tests your glucose over the last six to eight weeks ( or more) . Last night’s blip shouldn’t effect it. Good luck.

Oh thank you!
Hopefully be ok then 🙂

Eggy is dead right - one magnum is not going to do anything to your HbA1c although the loss of a stone might well be beginning to show!

By the way, Magnums are one of the few ice creams my system can tolerate but I would not rely on my system predicting how yours will behave. 🙂

It might have elevated your capillary blood glucose a little, but it wouldn’t have been enough as a one-off to alter your HbA1c.

Let us know your results when you get them 🙂
