A1C Drop in 3 Months

Posted by msileft @msileft, Aug 19 2:43pm

Has anyone dropped 2.5 points in a three month period on their A1c? And is that a good thing or a bad thing? It seems just like a lot and that short amount of time.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Diabetes & Endocrine System Support Group.

Not sure of your age, but if you ever use Medicare insurance for insulin and diabetes meds and supplies….it can be a nightmare satisfying the supply companies. Endo offices even struggle to get proper documentation to them. I can’t imagine a Primary office doing this. Mine is more complicated due to being Type 1 and using a pump, but I still think it’s rough for everyone.

Not needing insulin, I have not had to hassle with insurance; I will go to using rybelsus but it will be similar to the trajenta that I am using now
Before the law change I would get to the donut hole in July. Now I get to the cap in August.

I’ve heard of that, but am not quite sure what it is. I guess the change is helpful, yes?

Fortunately, since I’m on a pump, my insulin is covered as DME and not as a drug and with my supplement plan, supplies and insulin is covered 100%. I do pay for the supplement plan though to me it’s worth it.
