RE: Many Small Steps - (Zapfic Writing Contest - Week 91): Prompt: milestone
As a diabetic myself, I definitely understand the struggle. Wishing you great success with getting control and making your goal! You can do this!
Yes, I will. I'm Type 2. My A1C level was 288 in May, 2019. I was really sick and didn't know it.
Going to stick to my resolution to reduce my number a few points each month.
I've honestly never heard of anyone's A1C being that high. My last one was 8.1 and my doc had a fit. 6.5 is my target. I can't imagine how high your sugar must be on a daily basis to have a 3 month average A1C of over 200!!
You're talking about your percentage.
MAY, 2019
My A1C Value (%) = 11.5%
Average Blood Glucose (mg/dl) = 288
Yes, my number was 288. On Dec. 31st, I've gotten it down to the 140s. I need to get it under 100. I monitor myself twice a day. I was allergic to Medforin, so I tried several different meds to try to lower it quickly, then go on management to get even lower.
When I take my reading each day, it shows in mg value.
My goal is:
under <6% or <100 ABG
