Janaina Bordignon replied to Josephine's discussion 'Do I hold the record for highest A1c (14.9%) ?' in the group Diabetes Burn Out"I feel like guilt is one of the hardest tihngs to deal when we are diabetic, as if we were always dealing with this inner conflict. For instance, it's hot and you want an ice cream. if you eat, you feel bad because you shouldn't eat it. If…"

wildlypoetic replied to Josephine's discussion 'Do I hold the record for highest A1c (14.9%) ?' in the group Diabetes Burn Out"When I was first diagnosed...near death. I was 17.7. They had never seen one so high in a living person. I've been good but I don't want to see this reading. I've been so stressed out. Too many 200+ readings.
The lows are awful, a…"

I thought 10 was the highest, I'm hoping to get my down soon starting on the 17 day diet and so Far I've had good results with my sugar level, time will tell it's only been 2 day."
ella01 replied to Josephine's discussion 'Do I hold the record for highest A1c (14.9%) ?' in the group Diabetes Burn Out"Hi I had a HBA1 measurement of 14.4, then I was told to go on the GI diet, this helps to maintain B/S and yes it does help. Now my levels are 6/7, and of course bloody hard work."

Nearing40years replied to Josephine's discussion 'Do I hold the record for highest A1c (14.9%) ?' in the group Diabetes Burn Out"I find your question quite refreshing! One of the reasons I joined this forum was because so many other places diabetics seem to all have perfect A1c's. MIne runs around an 8.5 and rarely gets better. One of the first A1c's I ever had was…"
SR replied to Josephine's discussion 'Do I hold the record for highest A1c (14.9%) ?' in the group Diabetes Burn Out"I was diagnosed type 1 four years ago at age 28. Apparently I had been diabetic for a long time because my hbA1c was 20.6. My doctor said my blood sugars were between 1000-1200. I feel so lucky to have come through that with my health. My latest A1c…"

I work 40-52 hours a week and then kickboxing 3-4 nights a week. High low, high low is how I go. Never the same meal same carbs same anything. I love that variety is the spice of life, but can't there be a…"

Here goes then... I have been a type 1 for 20yrs, it has been a complete pain in the bottom the whole time, well most of the time. it all started when i started passing lots of urine, drinking lots amd losing loads of weight. I remember walking home from school one day and i had to lie down by the side of the road, i was exhausted. Eventually, i was taken to the docs, my parents didn't want to face it, went to hospital that evening. Took to the whole thing really well, until i hit the terrible teens. That was when the whole thing went down the tubes. My father then passed away, so all in all control went out the window. By some sort of fluke i made it to university, didn't finish my degree, kept going to hospital. Moved home met lovely Patrick, have two beautiful little girls now, quite happy. Teaching Irish if anyone wants to learn. Lots of ups and downs in between, diagnosed with depression, i understand there is a link. I am on the way to better help, this site is great, it can only do good.
