A1C Drop in 3 Months

My wife is a diabetic 1.5. Her diabetes caused eye damage and has to have surgery. They would not do surgery unless her A1C was below 8.

Her A1C at that time was 9. She and her tried pretty hard to get down but one month later was still 8.5. Then at 2 months we got the test and was 7.9.

This was from really monitoring her eating and paying close attention to right amount of insulin when she ate meals or snacks. She has the auto pump G7.
So yes with really monitoring your eating and what ever treatments you are on your A1C can drop pretty dramatically. I say this from what my wife observed on her experience with this. She is not scheduled to have her surgery. Will be a great stresss releaver as she has to wear a patch over one eye due to double vision.

Thank you for sharing your wife’s story with me. It truly is helpful to hear from others since I am just starting with this new journey. It helps alleviate some fears. I pray everything goes well for your wife.
