At risk of diabetes
Diabetes is in my family and my mum has lost her sight as a result. So receiving an HBA1C result of 49 was a wake up call for me at beginning of August. Six weeks later , my result was 44 with a loss of 22 lbs in weight. Still a way to go with still so much to learn so looking forward to being part of this community and continuing the journey to reducing my score even further.
 
You only need to reduce your Hba1c a few more points to be normal - just watch your carb intake and you should be fine. Sorry to read about your mum, but it seems all too common.
 
Hi @Amoss, welcome to the forum, glad to have you with us. We are a friendly bunch and happy to share experiences and ideas so look around the boards, join in the conversations and ask questions.
 
Well done on the weight loss @Amoss and a warm welcome to our friendly and supportive forum.

Hope you can continue your downward A1c trajectory!

Glad to have you here. feel free to ask any questions you may have - we have centuries of lived diabetes experience on the forum 🙂
 
Hi @Amoss
you doing well, with weight loss and change of diet, with your determination you will beat this, personally speaking I felt much better after losing weight and bringing BG levels under control.
By the way I had a HbA1c of 77 to start with, after advice from people here, I had it down to 35 within 3 months, although that’s not possible for everyone as our bodies are all different ..
Best Wishes
M.
