HbA1c is the precise number of mmols and the smaller numbers @Swagman is talking about is the percentage. The HbA1c can’t be cheated, it’s not a snapshot of your blood sugar at that moment using a finger prick sized dot of blood, it shows the markers over weeks, where as the % measurement can be done in a few seconds but doesn’t give you an overall picture 42 is 6 in old money so you’re doing well. Under 7 (48) is where it’s generally agreed you need to be to avoid damage. An upper limit of 11 is a bit too high but if it’s only occasionally up there well don’t worry too much. If you have the cash to flash and are concerned about diabetic damage this thing is the way to go. The results I’ve seen on the people using them are superb. They love them, they get immediate feedback about how certain food n drinks effect them and as a result keep their blood sugars even by avoiding hyper and hypos. I’d definitely fork out for one! https://www.diabetes.org.uk/guide-to-diabetes/managing-your-diabetes/testing/continuous-glucose-monitoring-cgm 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So i thought she had stopped buying them as i'd not seen or been able to find anything for a long time, that was until i went somewhere i very rarely go near, the fucking washing machine, it was full and not with laundry Expand I keep my stash in two places, in plain sight in a large tin that says ‘sweets’ on it, I left it in the utility empty for long enough that everyone discovered its empty then once it was established it was an empty tin I refilled it The other place is my toolbox. Not the tool cabinet everyone goes to but my separate toolbox where I keep the stuff that goes missing, you know electrical tape, stanley knife, tape measure, needle nose pliers, jewellery screwdrivers etc etc. Its out of bounds without permission so thats a sweet spot, literally 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
