| When I was on Humulin N & R, my A1c's were around 6.0, and I had many hypoglycemic episodes, some very serious. After switching to Lantus and Humalog, I had no serious episodes, and many fewer milder ones, so I was a little apprehensive about getting another A1c, since I expected it to go up. To my great surprise, it was 5.3! Woo hoo! And that inspired me to be more diligent, so now I test ~15x a day (I work at home, though, which makes it easier to do that). My A1c's are always 5.0, 5.1 or 5.2 now, which is fine, because when I tested my non-diabetic sister's A1c (I have a home A1c meter) it was 5.0. I've been type 1 for 20 years, which I mention because this is my first post. |
