| |  Latest HbA1c Results
Hi Everybody!
I'm quite happy today. I just got the results from my latest HbA1c test - a "boringly normal" 5.2%! I guess the winter wasn't as bad as I had anticipated.
That being said, I know that I cannot slack off or do something stupid. It does however, say a lot about the fact that my FBG levels have been in the 110 - 115 range for the past three months. Guess it's that ****ed Dawn Effect.

| | | Everyone,
While I do appreciate the pats-on-the-back, I also have to tell everyone that a lot of the success in managing the BG levels came from you. The shared knowledge of these forums makes me know that:
1. I'm not alone in this
2. Control can be acheived
3. It will happen through a combination of effort and sage advice.
Thanks,
