Hi all,
Just wanted to share a bit of reasonably good news.
My hba1c from the hospital when I left it about 4 weeks back was around 137 ish (can't remember exactly, but over 130).
Recent blood test was down at 71, which because I was higher for the first week probably averages a lot lower now.
Got a follow up in Jan, so I expect to be back in a "normal" sort of range by then. Currently hovering just around 5's most of the time with raises to around 6 for meals.
Basically just low carb and using my fitbit to keep me adding steps to my daily grind.
Anyway, it's good to get numbers that improve, even if they've not made it to "normal" quite yet. Can't really expect a 3 month average to improve in 4 weeks to the point where it goes to normal, so January should be a better indicator.
Aaaaand I've fixed my BG level spreadsheet 🙂
Call me nerdy if you like, but I'm a devil for the numbers.
