Hi @jimbo12 “the mentor on diabetes” here, truly you are doing really well, as other members have said. Keep up the great work! I am going on 51 years of having diabetes. When I was diagnosed in 1975 there weren’t A1C tests; there weren’t even meters. There were little tablets and test strips to test for sugar in the urine. People had to go to a lab for a blood draw to find out their blood sugar. When the A1C became available mine was always 10 - 13. Thank God that treatment and technology has come such a long way. My last A1C was 6.4 and I was very happy with that! We can always do better, can’t we?
