Landon and Brennen's Mom replied to Trini's Mom's discussion 'Recommended A1C for a 5 yr old....what does your doctor say ???' in the group parents of kids with Type 1"My son was diagnosed in February and his initial A1C was 8.3. At that point our endo told us they like kids his age (3) to be below 8.5. At his most recent appointment at the beginning of this month, his A1C was at 6.3. We were told that that may be…"

We do live in the US and have a nurse at the school all day every day. The district does not do this for every school (and our district handles this differently than others in the US). They have designated a school in each area as a…"
"Hi Aimee,
I was just wondering as you mentioned the school nurse handled your daughter's diabetes at school; is there a school nurse at your school all day long? Do you live in the U.S.? Because I live in Quebec, Canada and we have a nurse…"

I talked with her old doctor (which took care of her for 3 years until 2 months ago when we moved) and she agrees that the new…"
daneenm replied to Trini's Mom's discussion 'Recommended A1C for a 5 yr old....what does your doctor say ???' in the group parents of kids with Type 1"We had the same feedback and, honestly, I'm not sure my son (10 yrs) has ever had an AiC in the 6s except during a time that he was experiencing a lot of lows. We keep very close watch on my son's numbers and do keep him slightly higher at…"
Aimee replied to Trini's Mom's discussion 'Recommended A1C for a 5 yr old....what does your doctor say ???' in the group parents of kids with Type 1"My 7 year old daughter was diagnosed at 3 years old and her A1C goal has always said under 8. She is usually in the higher 7's so we have never had a talk about what would be too low for an A1C. I personally would love for it to be closer to 7,…"

Thanks !!!"
Barbi replied to Trini's Mom's discussion 'Recommended A1C for a 5 yr old....what does your doctor say ???' in the group parents of kids with Type 1"When Malcolm was little (dx@2) the docs also recommended his A1C be in the 7s - in fact even now that he is 17 the A1C they would like to see is in the low 7s or high 6s. Even if the A1C is higher you will still get the occasional low - happens all…"
"My son was dx last November and his first A1C was better than the last one. He tends to run high in the afternoon after lunch so I had to introduce a shot at lunchtime and he was running high after bedtime sometimes but I manage to bring it down so…"
MelissaBL replied to Trini's Mom's discussion 'Recommended A1C for a 5 yr old....what does your doctor say ???' in the group parents of kids with Type 1"I think this is the study to which I was referring, but reading it, I see that the results were not entirely conclusive. I remember reading a write-up of it that expressed it differently.
I'm in agreement that if you feel that her control is…"
MelissaBL replied to Trini's Mom's discussion 'Recommended A1C for a 5 yr old....what does your doctor say ???' in the group parents of kids with Type 1"There was a study done a year ago where they were talking about parents of Type 1s being encouraged to run higher A1c's to avoid lows, but that it was ultimately in the child's worst interests. I will see if I can find it and link to…"
Julee replied to Trini's Mom's discussion 'Recommended A1C for a 5 yr old....what does your doctor say ???' in the group parents of kids with Type 1"My daughter's doctor said the same thing between7.5 and 8. They told me that was because if the A1C is lower they assume they are trending on the low side. My daughter's A1C was 7.4 and I will be honest we did a happy dance because no…"
sarhow replied to Trini's Mom's discussion 'Recommended A1C for a 5 yr old....what does your doctor say ???' in the group parents of kids with Type 1"I'd say if you can keep it that low, go for it. She probably has some residual beta cell function/insulin production, and a low A1C could help preserve that. If not, I don't know how to do it! The general recommendation is to let young…"

Recommended A1C for a 5 yr old....what does your doctor say ???
Hi,My daughter who is turning 5 in 2 months had an A1C of 6.4 for the past 9 months.We just moved to another city and had our first appointment with our new doctor.She checked my daughter's numbers and saw a 50 she had 2 days ago....it's extremely rare that she goes that low and I told her that......At the end of the appointment she recommended to "keep her a little high" so her A1C would raise to 7.5 / 8.5.
