Guest guest Posted May 28, 2011 Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 Hi, nne Here, a fellow type 2 Diabetic. My a1c level is typically between 6.1 and 6.3. I am trying to get it under six. I just received the results of my blood test back. My LDL is fine. My Kidney and Liver are working fine. I just have a little too many Triglycerides. How are other people dealing with this problem? Also, does anyone have any ideas for some healthy bed time snack? nne From: blind-diabetics [mailto:blind-diabetics ] On Behalf Of girlsgood@... Sent: Saturday, May 28, 2011 8:33 AM To: blind-diabetics Subject: A1c 7.0 these days is the highest acceptable for a type 2 diabetic, and i would sure not want to be on it. I am at Yale and right now they want a 6.5 or under. My CDE likes to see it between 6.0 and 6.5. I remember years ago when 7.5 and above was acceptable. Mine was 6.5 and I told her she would see it being lowered for years to come. I dont' think she really believed me, but the last time we talked I reminded her, and she remembered my prediction. Now she says they are not worried about lower limits unless you are suffering from a lot of lows to get there. Lindy It seems that her goal is to increase my A1C to a 6.5 or a 7.0, which would be quite acceptible to her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 28, 2011 Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 Hello ann. Do you need a bedtime snack? If your BG is okay at night and you are not going into a low BG during the night, then you might not need any snack at all. But, some healthy snacks are a limited amount of popcorn, nuts or green stuff. _____ From: blind-diabetics [mailto:blind-diabetics ] On Behalf Of nne Haas Sent: Saturday, May 28, 2011 10:22 AM To: blind-diabetics Subject: RE: A1c Hi, nne Here, a fellow type 2 Diabetic.

Guest guest Posted May 28, 2011 Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 An A1C between 6.5 and 7.0, must be the new standard with indocrinologists. When I first saw my indocrinologist a year ago when my A1C was 5.7, my doctor told me then she would be pleased with an A1C between 6.5 or even up to 7.0. My latest A1C was 6.7 and I am due to get another one in a month or so. A1c 7.0 these days is the highest acceptable for a type 2 diabetic, and i would sure not want to be on it.

Guest guest Posted May 29, 2011 Report Share Posted May 29, 2011 Hi all. I haven't posted much lately but I wanted to contribute to this thread as well. My first A1C was 8.8. Now after being on 2 diabetic meds, diamicron, and metformin, my last 2 A1C's have been 6.4. The only thing they have added is a med called Coversyl which they said will stop protein leakage from the kidneys. They said there was no damage, but the last med would prevent damage. Thanks all.

Lindy It seems that her goal is to increase my A1C to a 6.5 or a 7.0, which would be quite acceptible to her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 29, 2011 Report Share Posted May 29, 2011 My doctor wants me to say under a 6.1... currently I am at 5.7, and he prefers me to stay down , not over 6.. sugar ' Your mind is your garden, your thoughts are your seeds. You can grow flowers or you can grow weeds.' ~Be Blessed, Sugar A1c 7.0 these days is the highest acceptable for a type 2 diabetic, and i would sure not want to be on it. I am at Yale and right now they want a 6.5 or under. My CDE likes to see it between 6.0 and 6.5. I remember years ago when 7.5 and above was acceptable. Mine was 6.5 and I told her she would see it being lowered for years to come. I dont' think she really believed me, but the last time we talked I reminded her, and she remembered my prediction. Now she says they are not worried about lower limits unless you are suffering from a lot of lows to get there.

Guest guest Posted July 20, 2011 Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 I am going to watch through the night and hope he goes Number 1 so I have to practically force feed him water every half hour or so and hope that problem gets solved. But the swelling and pain in my right leg is juust about unbearable and I dread putting shoes on and walking all over Michigan if we have to take him into the hospital. But then I wonder what if I am the one that gets taken in; then what of ? a1c >> >>>I got my blood work back today and my a1c was 5.4. >>> I have been off of insulin for about 3 and a half months now. >>> Just taking metformin 1000 milligrams twice a day with diet. >>> I thought I would share. >>> I have learned a lot from the members of this list thank you very much. >>> >>> >>> Junior Lolley KG4itd >>> Liberty County Emergency Coordinator >>> >>> >>> >>> >>> >>> ------------------------------------ >>> >>> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
