Hba1c

[Sugarcoated]

Is it ok if i gloat ?
I had diabetic clinic yesterday & it was good news...for a change lol
Hba1c was 53mmol. Few months back i was 89, then got down to 75, back up to 87, then 63 but now I'm 53!! My libre graphon phone looked awful but diabetic dr showed me what the see & i was pretty flat with only 3 spikes which is related to having a chest infection which I'm being treated for. Also shocked as I'm on long term steroids now & know they can interfere with sugars.
Its been hardwork weighing everything, reducing carbs & generally following a Mediterranean diet. And most importantly, I've even gained weight & my BMI is in the normal range.
Also, i don't need to worry about ketones as cf patients don't suffer with it.
Sorry if i sound all boasty but these past few months have been difficult with blood sugars, medicine side effects, covid & declining health. But I'm finally feeling optimistic again.
Thanks for reading.

Well done @Sugarcoated 😎 You’re not boasty- just rightfully proud🙂

Congratulations! That is a fantastic result and under more difficult circumstances than normal. You have every right to boast, gloat and be very proud of yourself. I hope you have a little treat of some sort planned as a celebration. Doesn't have to be edible, but that result definitely warrants a treat of some kind. Well done.

Well done, @Sugarcoated, you have permission to not only gloat, but to feel smug! 😉
