Just a quick Whoo Hoo! Before I go to bed...
My iron is back to normal again.
My HBA1C was 6.2 ---- the same as it was in April!
I'm really thrilled with this news.
Cheers!!

Making discoveries while enjoying a nice cuppa green tea ...
I was diagnosed with diabetes in September 2006. Every day seems to include an experiment about what affects my blood glucose levels and what doesn't. This blog is a journal of my discoveries, positive or negative. Of course, there are other things in my life besides diabetes, so there are other topics covered as well. I have a lot of chronic health problems, but try not to let these things get in the way of living.

HBA1C what is that?
With love your,
Eldest Son.
HBA1C stands for Haemoglobin A1c or glycated haemoglobin. The level of HbA1c reflects the average blood glucose level over the past 3 months. This page gives a really good description with illustrations... http://medweb.bham.ac.uk/easdec/prevention/what_is_the_hba1c.htm
While I check my blood glucose several times a day, the HBA1C is kind of an accumulative test that shows an average from the last 3 months. It's relatively new to me, because I had diabetes when I was a teenager and they didn't have that test then, that's for sure! I reckon it helps keep me 'honest', knowing there's a test at the end of the next 3 month period.
Love,
Your One and Only Mom ;-)
