Happy with HbA1c result

I had an HbA1c test done last Friday and the result was 4.9% or 30mmol/mol and "Excellent control; increased risk of hypoglycaemia if on insulin/sulphonylureas".

I have been keto for many months, then upped my carbs at the end of September, upped them a little again in October. I'm pleased that it has stayed under control even when adding carbs.

Just wanted to share how happy I was. I had gestational diabetes in 2012 and was high risk of developing type 2, I was prediabetic in 2014 and on the verge of diabetes.

Thanks for all the help I've had on here.

    Congrats on truly great results! That is square in the non-diabetic range, better than most non-diabetics.

    Great number, especially with your increased carb level. What is your carb level now? I'm getting my A1C measured tomorrow, fingers crossed!

    That is great! Congrats. Mine is now on a downward trend (still working on it after a surprise sky high reading in August) and I couldn't be more relieved.

    Great job. Thanks for sharing on MFP forums.

    Today I was reading how Type 2 diabetes can carry a 2x risk for some types of cancer and learned a non diabetic with an elevated HbA1c was at a greater risk of cancer per some research papers.

    So clearly in some ways pre Type 2 diabetes needs to be addressed head on.
