My labs after 9 months on glycaemic control: A1C 5.0%, fasting glucose 85 mg/dL, fasting insulin 4 uIU/mL. My endo says these are "textbook perfect."
For context, my baseline A1C was 6.5% and fasting glucose was 110 mg/dL. The improvement has been dramatic and consistent.

Insulin sensitivity test (HOMA-IR) on glycaemic control — arguably the most important metabolic marker most people aren't tracking:
HOMA-IR = (fasting insulin × fasting glucose) ÷ 405
My numbers: Baseline HOMA-IR = 5.4 (insulin resistant) → Current = 1.4 (insulin sensitive)
Anything above 2.0 indicates insulin resistance. The goal is below 1.5. GLP-1 agonists address the root metabolic dysfunction, not just the symptoms. This is why they work so much better than calorie restriction alone.

Complete metabolic panel trending on glycaemic control — sharing because comprehensive data helps everyone:
| Test | Baseline | Month 3 | Month 6 | Month 12 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Glucose (fasting) | 114 | 104 | 90 | 82 |
| Insulin (fasting) | 20 | 12 | 10 | 5 |
| HOMA-IR | 4.5 | 4.0 | 1.8 | 1.3 |
| Uric Acid | 8.7 | 6.4 | 5.7 | 5.0 |
The insulin resistance improvement (HOMA-IR) is what my endo focuses on most. Going from 4.5 to near 1.0 is a metabolic transformation.

Glycemic variability as the key metric for glycaemic control success: my coefficient of variation (CV) on CGM dropped from 36% to 22%. Target is <36%, with <30% being ideal.
Why this matters more than average glucose: large glucose swings cause oxidative stress, endothelial damage, and promote advanced glycation end-products (AGEs). A flat glucose line at 95 mg/dL is metabolically healthier than oscillating between 60 and 160, even if the average is the same.
