@trellg132, I'm glad to hear that you want to get control of your condition. @dorisena and @howardm have been giving very wise and experienced advice and support. It must be hard to wait for further guidance and for the appointment with the endocrinologist. @howardm is right. There's plenty that you can do now to educate yourself and help you prepare for your consult with endocrinologist.
Here's a great place to start:

You can do this. Take one step at a time.

dorisena, I do not eat many carbs and hardly any sweets. I have been battling hypoglycemia episodes and therefore the reduction in metformin and insulin by half. So my A1C of 6.1 is not good. The hypo attacks cause more harm than a higher A1C of the 7's. My PharmD is cutting back my insulin to lessen the low sugar attacks. We'll see where this goes.
