Guest guest Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 Hi , As a diabetic, you should begin having a number of blood tests performed about every 3 months by a lab at your doctor's request. One of these is the a1c, which as Pat mentioned, is a measure of how well (or not so well) you've been managing your blood sugar levels. But, because you have diabetes, there are other things that need to be monitored such as kidney function, liver enzyme levels, and your red blood cell (or hemoglobin) level, just to name a few of them. If your doctor doesn't believe you need such things, look for a different doctor, or try to have him/her refer you to a diabetic doctor (endocrinologist).

Guest guest Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 Hi Becky, Welcome to the list! I'm 27 and have also had type 1 diabetes for over 17 years. There are a few long-term type 1s on this list, most who have had it for much longer than I have! I use an insulin pump to manage my diabetes. That must be really amazing to be essentially cured of diabetes after so long! Do you still have to test your blood sugar at all just to check?
