New A1C Result

[gettingby]

Ok, I'm gonna tell my new number even though I'm embarassed to. Please hold off on playing "Bash the bad diabetic". LOL
A1C in January............8.4:mad:
A1C March 14.............7.6 :(
Not perfect but at least it's headed in the right direction. My new endo and I are working together to get me pumping. Will keep everyone updated on that.:) Oh yeah, and NO "I told you so" from the red headed Ohio guy !!!!!!!!!! You know who you are!!!:)

Hey that was only a two month difference, I don't know when my a1c actually went to the 6.6 range because the last time i had mine checked was in May of 06 then in Feb of this year, so mine could of went by really slowly since I only started to care about August so don't worry, you are heading in the right direction and that is what counts.......I won't bash you, I am the one that has the least reason too.......

Still a good job very good

gettingby, I think it's not bad, and you're heading in the right direction, so that's great! I've been told that there are alot of diabetics out there that don't care to control their BS and it's not uncommon for them to have an A1C in the high teens! I know that I've said this before, but it just blows my mind! I say GOOD JOB!

You are not a bad diabetic. ;)

I think you are doing a great job and definately moving in the right direction...

[rzrbks]

The IMPORTANT question is:

Are you heading the Right direction?

The obvious answer is:

Yes.

So, instead of getting on your back, give yourself a pat on the back.

You're doing just fine sweetie! Just hang in there and keep on hanging, along with the rest of us!

That's a big improvement and nothing to look down on. I think it's very important to recognize progress- Diabetes isn't easy and if we can improve things for ourselves in any way that's great and worth acknowledgement. We're proud of you and you should be proud of yourself :proud:.

Again, great job! keep it up :)

You're winning. Diabetes is losing.

You're absolutely right. Making that big an improvement shows that you've been working hard at it. Celebrate your progress and keep at it.
Congrats . .

As long as your are improving, you should just be happy Cin. Your doing great.

Is "bash the bad diabetic" anything like whack a mole? :boxing:

[Funnygrl]

Nice improvement Cin! That's certainly something to be pleased with.

[gettingby]

Thanks gals and guys. I couldn't have done it without the help of all of you. :)

Sorta. LOL.

[koblenz]

Two words... YAY CIN! :D

[Dewey]

You're winning. Diabetes is losing.

Amen to that. Great job Cin! Keep up the excellent work & we all look forward to hearing more about you getting the pump! (((((Hugs!!!)))))

Don't let it bug ya...We have to remember there are so many other important factors to consider in our lives with this disease: How do we FEEL? (very important, gimme a higher A1c reading and let me feel good versus a lower A1c reading where I was miserable the whole time). Were you ill at all? Stressed? Is the stress temporary? Are there other factors that you can control that you haven't been particularly worried about?

And don't forget, be easy on yourself. The January reading, sh...stuff happens. It looks to me like you've made the proper course adjustments, just keep on it and you'll get where you want to be.

Better than the last one!! YaY!! :five: Good job Cin! :)

Thanks Sandi. It has taken a lot of hard work and a lot of cyber "a** kicking" to get to this point.
Hang in there and I'm here if you need me. :)
