A1C

I got my A1C results back today to a record low of: 5.9%

I am thrilled with this as it has been 6, good also, for so long that I didnt know if it would go down or not.

Here is a description of what an A1C is:

What the test measures
Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) is a blood test that shows your average blood glucose level over the past two or three months. It measures the percentage of hemoglobin with glucose attached (altered hemoglobin).

Glucose in your blood stream attaches to hemoglobin in red blood cells and stays there. Red blood cells live for about 120 days.

The higher your blood sugar is, the more glucose is attached to hemoglobin. So, the higher your A1c level is, the higher your chances of diabetes-related eye, kidney, nerve or blood vessel damage are.

Normally 4 to 6 red cells in 100 have glucose attached to its surface; hence the range of HbA1c in a normal person is 4 to 6%
