Guest guest Posted January 22, 2005 Report Share Posted January 22, 2005 Hi ! >I got my test results for my A1c from last week. It was a 12. Do I >win a prize? Yes - a lifetime membership to the Club That No-one Wanted To Join ;-) My first A1c was 14.6! Eek1 >How long after you were diagnosed were you able to get your blood >sugar down to " normal " levels? My first fasting test, done at the same time as my A1c, was 18.5. My second, a week later, was down to 10.0. That was simply through cutting out as much sugary food as possible, and before I settled on an appropriate " eating plan " . A week later, and I'd got myself sorted out with a meter, and began to test regularly. Most readings were in the 9-10 range, sometimes higher, but after another week, I was seeing readings as " low " as 7. Unfortunately, I then went to Singapore for three weeks, and my readings remained elevated - whether it was due to the heat, or the stress of the job that I was doing at the time, I don't know. However, just a few days after returning home, roughly 5 weeks after being diagnosed, I was regularly seeing readings around about the 5 mark. YMMV, of course, but I hope that gives you some idea of what to expect.... regards, Eddie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
