Hi there, I've just had a three-month review blood test and my HbA1c has come back as "Satisfactory – No Further Action". Does this possibly mean my diabetes is in remission?

You need to get the actual number

The current definition of remission is 3 months with an HbA1c below 48 without taking any diabetes meds, so if you meet those criteria then yes. However, remission doesn't mean cured.

On some GP systems it's possible to look at and print out your patient record (as well as a whole lot of other stuff). Maybe check whether your GP has this and how you can access it. Invaluable to me.
