Early this morning I received an email from the lab. My lab test result I took on last Friday was already available. It was amazingly quick.
I was so happy to see the improvement in my Hemoglobin A1C.
Last time was 7.9% on April 25th 2018. This time it was improved to 6.4%. According to The American Diabetes Association (ADA) guidelines, the diagnostic criteria for Diabetes is equal and more than 6.5%. Therefore, based on the result, I am diagnosed as “pre-diabetic”. I am not “diabetic” anymore.
My doctor does not recommend his patients to take any medication when their hemoglobin A1C is less than 7.0%. So, I am going to stop taking Metformin starting from today.
I also took the lipid panel test.
Compared with the result of this April, generally the values have been improved, except for Triglyceride. It got worse than last time. It is supposed to be ≤149 mg/dL, but my value was 294 mg/dL. I will need to work on reducing my fat, especially around my belly.
All I all, I am happy for my improvements. Unfortunately I cannot celebrate my improvement with a bunch of sweets, but I am okay with it.
