What a result - Hba1c

[Adrienne]

Well what a result.

We had clinic yesterday. When we first started pumping three years ago we went down from the high 8's and 9's to 7.6 and stayed around that for a year. Then Jessica had the worst hypo ever and I thought I was losing her, it was that bad. Glucagon came out to play and it worked. As Jessica is slightly different to normal type 1 (no pancreas and added problems to do with that) Gt Ormond St and UCLH put their heads together to try to come up with something to guarantee no more of these unexpected bad hypos. We tried cornstarch at night, porridge and lots more. We had to run her high ish and these all pushed her way up. Her next a1c was 9.6 😱

Since then we have worked damned hard to bring that down slowly. We went to 8.6, 8.3, 8.4 and 8.1 last time (few more 8's thrown inbetween). Yesterday I would have been happy with an 8.0 but I desparately wanted a 7.9. Well guess what we got..........


7.8
