No one else would understand this, but I started Dexter in December. At that time my A1C was 6.9. I finally had it checked again today and it went down to 6.1! No matter the down fall's the Dex has, it really has helped me with my control. I needed to celebrate with people who would understand. Thanks!

I agree. Mine went down 0.5 ! :)
Congrats on the 6.1 !
Nice! Congrats on the great drop in A1c. Keep up the good work!
Many do understand. I went down to 6.7 for the 1st time in 15 years!
Thanks to dexcom
I take it you are a fan of the TV show "Dexter?".....anyway, congartulations! PEACE
No, that's just what I like to call him.
Him?
Absolutely "HIm". He has his own pesonality. I have to take him everywhere I go, when he gets grumpy, I have to calibrate him, and sometimes he hurts me so I have to change sensors!
Very poetic
I totally understand! I just had a dramatic A1C drop thanks to the Dex, too! (well, the Dex, MY hard work, and some great new basal rates). It really is so helpful!
I achieved the 5's (5.8) for the first time 6 months after I started on the Dex. I understand! It also helps me regulate when I want to stay slightly higher... I know I lived before it but after nearly 2 years on it I can't imagine how I did it. :)
Awesome!!! Mine went from 7.2 to 6.0! I was so happy I cried :) Keep up the great work!
Great news. congratulations.
