my A1c went up nasty lots!

[lelggren]

Oh my heck! Hi kids :) I just got my A1C back from the Dr's office.....My A1C shot up to 9!!!!!! He wants to see me in 2 weeks......Plus, he put me on cholesterol medicine....My total cholesterol was 252....gotta love family history helping me along with all of this....lol

Yeah, just wanted to post my results. Thanks everyone :)

Ouch! Sorry to hear that. I know that my A1c is going to be high the next time I go in, since I've had infection after infection after all my surgeries. :( I can't seem to keep control right now. So, I commiserate!

aww i am sorry to hear your A1c went up.....don't worry work hard and it will go back down again....

I am worried cause tonight i go to see my new doc since March of 06.....and my last A1c was 7.8 i am afraid to see how high mine has gone up!!

Any idea why it keeps going up? Do you see your testing numbers going higher? Also, did he say why he wanted to see you again in 2 weeks? If it's to do another A1C then that won't have much of a change in that time. Just curious to why again in 2 weeks.

Well, I know that a large part of it going up is because of the stress I'm experiencing at work. I'm not going to get into it all because it is a novel, but trust me, it is justified. I have noticed that my numbers have been higher, but I didn't think that they had gone that high.

Not sure why he wants to see me again in two weeks, but I am guessing that he wants to talk about what has been such a drastic change in my life to make these go up that high again. He knows what is going on at work because he works with the center that I work in. But, I think he maybe wants to get a game plan to get these down quickly. But, I will find out for sure on the 13th what he wants for sure. I am also wondering if he wants to do a whole re-doing of the insulin dose settings in my pump. That could be, I guess. Here's hoping all will be well!

We all have those bad A1c's Laura Ann..... hang tough and try to get back on track. :egg:

Sorry to hear that your A1c went up- I know no one likes to hear that. But, saying that, sometimes this is just what we need to hear- it serves as a good kick in the a$$ to get back on track. I hope it motivates you to do what you need to do to regain control.

Good luck~ we're pulling for ya ;)

Sorry to hear your numbers went up! That's a wake-up call to the group to keep vigilant about one's bg's. Like you said, stress can raise your bg's. Hope you get a better result next time, Laura. Pills are remarkably effective in fixing most cholesterol problems.

Sorry you had such a lousy Monday!! It will be interesting to see what happens in two weeks. As far as the cholesterol meds...they worked great for me after three months, and I go back next week.
Hang in there! If there was an icon for that, it would be right here!

My A1c has climbed over the last year since I started pumping. But in my case, I know what I'm doing wrong!

Hoping things get better for you soon!

Well, the thing that gets me is that I am taking all my meds like a very diligent and good diabetic, and it still gets me results like this. I hope he has some good ideas for me. I will keep you guys posted on what happens at the next appointment. Thanks bunches for the replies!

Hope things go well for you.
