HBA1C Blood Test: get it below 5.7 in one year

Glucose: A dextrorotatory monosaccharide found in a free form in fruits and other parts of plants, and in combination in glucosides, glycogen, disaccharides (starch cellulose), the chief source of energy in human metabolism, the final product of carbohydrate digestion, and the principal sugar of the blood; insulin is required for the use of glucose by cells; in diabetes mellitus, the level of glucose in the blood is excessive, and it also appears in the urine.

Hexose sugar found in all living cells, and in plant sap and in the blood and tissue of animals. It is the end product of breakdown of starch, glycogen and cellulose, and is also a constituent of many other polysaccharides. It is the chief fuel molecule of most living cells, being converted to glucose 6-phospate and oxidized by glycolysis. 

Get your score under 5.7! Optimal health is at 5.1

At 6.9 or higher, you start losing beta cells in the pancreas that produces insulin.

Let’s take the following scenario. An adult weighing 75kg has about 5lts of blood in his body. In that blood he has about one teaspoon of sugar in it (for a normal HBA1C score). A diabetic has two teaspoons of sugar (glucose) circulating in his blood. That is how SENSITIVE the body is. The person following the Standard American Diet (SAD) consumes about 30 teaspoons of sugar (glucose from carbohydrates, fats and fruits) on a daily basis. This excess sugar (glucose) are controlled by insulin. And that is why you eventually becomes Insulin resistant (type II Diabetic). Because this took years, it will also take more than a year to correct. Remember, the red blood cell needs to die first and be replaced for the score to adjust!

However, about 30% of the population is anemic. If you’re anemic, the A1C test will be invalid. If you have anemia, your A1C test will be thrown off. Infections, kidney disease, liver disease, pregnancy, and numerous other factors can throw off your A1C measurements. Other things that could make the test invalid are:
• Sickle cell
• Iron disease
• Thalassemia  

Red blood cells die a lot sooner in a diabetic (81 days) than they do in a healthy person (146 days). If you measure the red blood cells with a short period of exposure to glucose, it can dramatically affect what shows up on the A1C results. This is because the test is all about how long the red blood cells are exposed to glucose. Better tests would be:
• Fasting glucose
• Post-meal glucose
 • HOMA-IR
When your bone marrow makes a new red blood cell, the hemoglobin inside that blood cell is not glycated.

If you have both high blood sugar and ketones in the morning, it could be because of the dawn phenomenon. The dawn phenomenon is due to gluconeogenesis, which means you’re making glucose from fat, ketones, and protein. This is happening because you’ve had insulin resistance for a long time.  You don’t really need to be concerned about this. It’s just a part of the transition phase if you have had chronic insulin resistance.

The difference between prediabetes and diabetes has to do with your blood sugars.
• With prediabetes, your blood sugars are around 100-125, with an A1C of 5.7-6.4%.
• With diabetes, your blood sugars are 126 and greater, with an A1C of 6.5% or greater.

Symptoms of insulin resistance:
• Frequent urination (even at night)
• Brain fog
• Can’t go long without being hungry
• Cravings
• Tired after meals
• Tingling feet (eventually amputation)

The body works best in a state of homeostasis. This means that all of the body’s internal functions like blood pressure, blood sugars, temperature, and pulse rate all remain constant.

Other complications of diabetic retinopathy:
• Numb feet
• Chronic infections
• Kidney damage (or failure)
• Heart damage
• The loss of cognitive function

As type II diabetic you will be prescribed Metformin (or Carbuce XR1000 generic). It increases the release of AMPK.

Need a hack to lower your HBA1C score? Donate blood. Not only will you save other lives, but unglaciated new red blood cells will be produced.

For a whole blood donation, typically 450-500 mL (about one pint) of blood is drawn. This is a standard unit of blood and represents a relatively small portion of the total blood volume in the body, which is around 4-5 liters for the average adult. The body replaces the fluid component of the blood within 24-48 hours, and red blood cells within a few weeks.

*CGM does not measure your blood. It measures interstitial fluid is the fluid that fills the spaces between cells in tissues. It is composed of water, amino acids, sugars, fatty acids, hormones, neurotransmitters, salts, and cellular products. Its main function is to bathe and surround the cells, facilitating nutrient and waste exchange between blood and cells, and playing a crucial role in maintaining homeostasis in the body.
