New A1c

[shutterbug]

Friends,

My A1c blood work was done today during my followup (3 months after initial diagnosis) and it was 5.7%

I didn't officially get this info yet but my healthcare provider has a website where I can access my test results and communicate with my doc etc. I got these readings from the website this afternoon.

Here's my A1c trend:

02/28/2008 - 10.1%
04/03/2008 - 7.7%
05/27/2008 - 5.7%

I'm a very happy person today!

5.7 is a terrific number Chris! My doc would turn a couple cartwheels over a number like that.

5.7 is a terrific number Chris! My doc would turn a couple cartwheels over a number like that.

My doc wasn't that enthusiastic, but, this morning she said she would take me off meds of lower it if A1c came back good.

I'm hoping to hear from her or her office in a day or two.

Millyyates,

Here's how I'm managing my diabetes:

1. Joined DF, asked lots of questions and read a lots of posts
2. Started on a low-carb diet (I don't know if its really low-carb but I just ate based on what my nutriotionist recommended)
3. Metformin (500mg twice daily)
4. 30 minutes on treadmill /5 days a week
