I've lost 15 lbs and exercise 20-60 minutes almost every day (mostly brisk walking ). Today I worked but I am not exercising. I HOPE and PRAY that my next A1c (Nov) will be 5.5 or lower!) We'll see. Again, so happy to hear that it was that low after your change.
One question, At 6.1 were you diagnosed as a diabetic?? Here my doctor's lab says 6+ and you are classified as a diabetic. So with your normal of 4.9 are you no longer a diabetic? , remission? (I'm still confused as to why PRE-D's can "reverse" their condition by normalizing their numbers but once you are a diabetic EVEN IF you reverse you numbers to normal levels the medical profession still says you have diabetes? I don't understand that. |
I just had my first A1c and it was 5.8 which is a non diabetic score. The new ratings are anything under 7 is good and 4.8-5.9 is a healthy adult. Anything above 7 is diabetic. These ratings just changed on May 19, 2008 according to Labcorp.
The medical profession sometimes says anyone that is a bit overweight has to have diabetes even though we know that is not true.
