Hi all!
Today we got the results of Alex's HbA1c test. It was 8.2 which i do know is not brilliant - but when he was diagnosed 13 weeks ago he was 12.4 - so it is an improvement of sorts - so hopefully we will be able to get it lower next time he has it done! Also, his DN told me that although the guidelines say 6.5 is an ideal - she thinks that aiming for 7 is better as it will mean he has suffered less hypos - so onwards and upwards!
And thankyou to you all for helping us get through these weeks - i am sure it has helped us to lower his HbA1c result more than if we hadnt joined this forum.![Big Grin :D :D](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
