Re: Re: My A1C Result.....

Appreciate you sharing that!

It has to do with diabetes numbers regarding a test that measures an 'average' of what ones blood-glucose has been for around the last three months. (more weighted to the last month)Guidelines have been changing recently, as it 'used-to-be' anything under 7.0, and still is in many cases, however, more doctors are starting to prefer to at least 'attempt' to get it under 6.0., if possible.So, my number/s are GREAT-! :-)Since I'd been told that the Hep C 'likely' exacerbated the Diabetes, I thought that I'd send the info. >> I have no clue what your talking about but I am happy your happy lol> [Hepatitis_C_ Central] My A1C Result.....> > > > My most recent A1C was 5.6-!-!

I am glad you are doing okay!

Yes, it's very good, as long as I don't go HYPO-! (yeech, NOT fun)However, the med that I've been using recently doesn't cause hypos when used by itself (Januvia/Sitaglipti n)So, going hypo is no longer currently a problem for me. (YAY);-)Like I said (typed-?) in another post, the recommendations seem to be shifting lately, but, I'm under the 'new-standard' as well, so, I can't ask for any better than 'that' result.From what I'd been told, the Glucose Tolerance Test isn't used very much anymore.That's the one where You're fasting, then they give You a (nasty-tasting) Glucose-drink, then take a blood-sample at regular intervals-? (it was 6 tests for mine)'Some' doctors still prefer to use that test, from what I'd been told it's not commonly used anymore and it's mostly the 'old-school' doctors that use it.Either that, or it may be a doctor that wants to be

'extra-thorough'. Not a bad thing in that case. IMPO> > > > > > > > > > My most recent A1C was 5.6-!-! (diabetes-test)> > Woo-Hoo-!> > I couldn't be any happier with 'that'.>
