Guest guest Posted September 23, 2011 Report Share Posted September 23, 2011 Oh that is what happened to me to, at 11, I was found with type 1, and lived the way a diabetic was suppose to, but in my case, I was given the wrong type of insulin on purpose because it was cheaper for the hospital....go figure, at 11 years old, how was I to know? any who, at least some 5 years later, when I was placed on the correct insulin, the damage had already been done, but it was not until I was 27 when I lost my sight in 3 months, and the same thing was developed, along with kidney and all that jazz, ... so now here I am, leaning with the rest of us. sugar 'Be Blessed ~Sugar A1C Today I made another visit to my endocrinologist, Dr. Welch, who was alarmed at my reading of the A1C taken today, which was 5.8. She expected it to be much higher. I remember on my first visit to her when my A1C was 5.7 she stated she would be quite pleased if it was 6.5 or higher near 7.0 or even a little higher. On the other hand I was quite pleased with the 5.8 reading, and I still wonder why she was so distressed, since it seemed to me to be quite good. She just said I needed to run a higher A1C due to my medical problems. I thought running high A1C's and glr's was the root cause of things like heart trouble, kidney problems and such. She was so alarmed she immediately placed me on a CGM continuous glucose monitor, and gave me a loan of a one touch glucose monitor to keep track of my glr and foods and liquids I consume daily for a week. Maybe she can explain why to me next visit. Apparently, she does not trust the readings of my prodigy audio code monitor, which is incompatible with the software on her computer. Any how this one touch monitor is supposed to be compatible with the readings on the CGM and the software on her computer system. I will let you know what the results are next week, when she will have some readings she can trust.
