| | | Just Want to Chime In About New A1C...
I was 14.9 when diagnosed.
My current results are an A1C of 8.1.
And I am sure had I gotten blood work done in the past three weeks, it would have been much slightly lower still since my understanding and knowledge has increased ten fold since.
Those were my results from about 3 weeks ago, from blood work done around a month ago.
I couldn't have gotten that far without rapids, testing, and most of all, this place. This forum is like a good BG meter.
Had I continued to use an NPH only, I wouldn't have been able to get this far, either.

| | Was that from a blood draw just 4 months or so after dx? That's really very good progress! I wouldn't be surprised at all if your next is in the lower 6's  |

| | | Congratulations - according to the 1000s rule, you've increased the time when you may see complications occur after diagnosis from 8 years to 27. Good work - still more to do, but a massive improvement! |
