Got my HbA1c results today and it came in at 48 or 6.5% in old money,would have liked lower but will hope for better next time.
All your numbers look good to me Paul, especially so, when you consider what you have been through in recent years. Kidney GFR as good as it gets, that's a huge improvement if my memory still serves. Cholesterol numbers good, according to the medics, as you know, I don't take cholesterol numbers other than trigs and HDL too seriously. The NHS has no way of checking the size of LDL particles, so the numbers don't mean much.
As for the HbA1c results, you are doing far better than most. NHS audited stats prove it. Well done mate.

Type two diabetic-low carb diet (50 carbs per day) and two 500mg Metformin pills per day. Apart from diagnosis HbA1c almost 12-all HbA1c results none diabetic. For over eight years my diabetes medication has not changed. My weight has remained stable, I have suffered no ill effects from my diet whatsoever. Every blood test has proved, I took the right road to my diabetic salvation. For almost seven years, I have asked medical professionals and naysayers, how do I maintain non diabetic BG levels on two Metformin other than low carb ? The silence has been deafening !
