I am interested in your AIC results because it sounds like low blood sugar which I had in the 1970's when I was considered "neurotic" instead of ill. No blood testing was done except the one with the bottles of sugar which made me so sick I almost passed out driving home. I also could not shower and dress myself and my mother had to dry me off on the bed and put a gown on me. The only thing I was told was to eat often and carry cheese. I finally learned, on my own, how to eat and cured the blood sugar problem, but the stressful life took some doing to improve. Even though I studied the matter in my physiology class, as I was in college with my sons in my forties, (imagine that life!) I never dreamed that I would flip flop into diabetes, and even though I reported my symptoms of terrible neuropathy pain in my ankles, my doctor never mentioned diabetes until he had a couple of blood tests that showed a morning number of 126. He didn't recommend anything but I knew to change my eating, and I was working hard in the garden in the summer. He sent me to a nutritionist who made it plain I probably couldn't eat a strict diet, and it made me so angry I proved her wrong and got the numbers down to around 100. Years later the morning number is rising and I can no longer exercise aerobically due to back surgery. So I am eating less and trying hard to do work. I am considered in control with an AIC of 6.8 but I would like to have lower numbers without starving. I watched my husband eat himself to death. I won't do that. Dorisena
