Gee, should I say goodbye to my dad and mother-in-law now? They are two of the worst controlled people I know... I ask my dad for his A1c and he says it's "somewhere in the 8s". At least he knows his. My MIL said something close to "what's an A1c" the other day...sheesh.

I do want to know what they consider poorly controlled. Anything above what A1c? People who've already had complications? I mean, seriously...if you're under 6% you're okay?? It doesn't say...
