I'm the same as you Kathy - A1C's didn't come around until the late 70's I believe.

When I was diagnosed, my A1C was 22. Now I'm at 8.4 and aiming for 7. Then I plan on getting serious about reducing further. XD .

In July of this year I was tested and found to be at 14.2. I saw the Doctor on Monday and new test results were 6.7. I'm very happy with the results. The Doctor was planning on an 8 ish reading I think and had a script all written out for a dietic...

Thanks. Dying is only a great motivator for me, because diabetes complications are a slow death. If I thought it could be quick and easy, I might reconsider my position on testing, and controlling. John

John, I too was officially diagnosed in October with an A1C of 11.1. But, 3 weeks before the official diagnosis, I realized I was a diabetic and immediately changed my diet to a very low carb diet. My fasting blood glucose at diagnosis was 223 so ...

Gerri replied to Kristina's discussion 'Cut A1C in HALF!'
Congrats, John! Great feeling proving a doctor wrong when they give you that look. My A1c at diagnosis was 11.9. Next one was 6.7 or 6.8. I was thrilled to get out of the double digits. Almost dying is a great motivator:)

John Brush replied to Kristina's discussion 'Cut A1C in HALF!'
I was dx'd in July with a "mere" 6.8. I just tested A1c at 5.5. Remarkably, I was in the depths of depression, and for months previous, my diet was ice cream, cookies, and deli sandwiches, so the reality is, I am lucky it was "only" 6.8 I did fai...
