Yahooooo!!!!!

My newest A1C came in today.....



Big drum roll please..



5.8

All time record for me, only took 8 years of hard work.
Pardon me while I revel in the moment and eat a small piece of dark chocolate. Don't really know why something finally worked but I'm not going to question it - I'm just gonna enjoy.

You guys have been a great source of support and help.
So - thanks
