| One thing I would love to see A1C research numbers on:
The A1C national average of Type I's and Type II's. Maybe by type, age, regional area, etc.
I'm also curious (I don't thing there was any tracking done back then) of what the national average of diabetics was before the popularity and prescription of meters. I think we were all happy we were walking on two feet back then!
I would like to see how the national numbers improve year-to-year in a national survey. We can get an idea of how diabetic treatment is getting better and better...if for anything else, a moral boost that things are getting better and we are getting healthier.
I have always felt the cure was in our hands...or at least, it's a partnership between patient, doctors & researchers.
If anyone knows of a national database that tracks A1C's in the US or any country...I'd love to know. |
