Guest guest Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 Good job, Harry! If I'm not mistaken, this is lower than you've been. Right?

Guest guest Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 In the past I have had A1C's in the range of 5.1 and 5.2, but this is not the goal of my indocrinologist. So in the future, they will run higher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 I'm not convinced we should strive for near normal A1C readings. My observations over the years lead me to believe as long as we maintain enough control and keep our daily readings somewhere near normal (not necewssarily under 120 at all times, but at least no higher than 160 for the most part), we will avoid most if not all complications. I'm not sure what this translates to as far as A1C, but it's kind of what I strive for, and my A1C's have been running below 6% for a few years now. Just my nickel's worth.

Guest guest Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 well then you are saying that a 7.3 or lower should be ok? 159 is 7.3 A1C. most saw bones say under 7 they can live with. some now even say 6.5 is better. I'm thinking around and close to 5.5 and 6 would be ideal. I think below 5.5 can be trouble maybe. between 90 and 105 is 5 to 5.5. this is why I think I can hold the 105 to 120 and be ok. this is 5.5 to 6. looks like to me if your numbers never went higher then 135 and no lower then 90, then you should be able to maintain this with no problems. we will see next Friday when I go see the diabetes specialist and see what he finds out. my last score of the A1C says it was 12.7 and that was in February 29'th. I'm hoping for 6.5 my self, but it may not take that big of a drop in 3 months even though my numbers have been so good for 90 plus days.

Guest guest Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 When I mentioned the 160, this refers to a temporary spike. If the blood glucose level hung there for a long period of time, then no, it wouldn't be good. For us who are t1, it's very difficult if not impossible to keep bg readings under that magical number of 120 24/7. There are times it will spike, but the secret is to get it back down, either with exercise, or a combination of exercise and insulin.
