Reached A1C Goal

I reached my A1C goal of being below 7%. The actual number is 6.7%. I wanted to have a safe margin when it comes time for surgery. They will not perform the surgery with blood sugars that are out of control and the threshold is 8%. Cause for celebration. If I can even push it a little bit lower by the time I am ready to go, so much the better. My endocrinologist was quite pleased but really wants me to be at 6.4% just to give my body the best chance to heal without complications. I can drop .3%. I got this!

I am sorry to hear that but at least you're taking the reins and things will get better.
