Just got back my HbA1c results: 5.7% ( normal range :<6%).
Congratulations to myself for all the efforts and preserverance the last 6 months .
In case you all don't know what HbA1c is : in simple layman terms it just mean how much glucose have stuck to your haemoglobin for the last 6 months.
As for medical explanation :In the blood stream are the red blood cells, which are made of a molecule, haemoglobin. Glucose sticks to the haemoglobin to make a 'glycosylated haemoglobin' molecule, called haemoglobin A1C or HbA1C. The more glucose in the blood, the more haemoglobin A1C or HbA1C will be present in the blood.
Red cells live for 8 -12 weeks before they are replaced. By measuring the HbA1C it can tell you how high your blood glucose has been on average over the last 8-12 weeks. A normal non-diabetic HbA1C is 3.5-6.0 %.
But I still need to stay far far away from sugary and starchy food for the rest of my life.
My last HbA1c was taken on 26/01/07 and it was 8.9% then. Yam...Seng
