First, congratulations on taking such good care of yourself! Second, I can understand your disappointment and frustration that you aren’t seeing the results you are working so hard to achieve. You're doing a whole lot better than you would be if you weren’t managing your regimen so well. :drinker:

The improvement you've made is fantastic! Welcome to the 5% club! and interestingly enough, I too share the exact same A1C test results as you on my labs this past March, along with my expectation of producing a lower number, but celebrated my success with telling myself a job well done.

I remind myself everyday that I'm human and not perfect, it's going to take time and patience to achieve my new goal now for even tighter control one day at a time. Additionally, I keep returning to this group to learn from others to help me achieve this new goal I have, as we share our experiences with one another.

Nicely done jsiricos, you're doing great!

You are doing really well. I know it isn't what you were hoping for, but be proud of your accomplishments!!! I know that I am very impressed with these results. Take care!

Fantastic work in lowering that number. I am the same as you and strive for perfection. My doctor is always happy with my results, but I get frustrated at times. In September I had a 5.6. Then I got severely sick in January and didn't start getting better till April. My A1C at the end of March was 6.5. After joining this group and MFP I have been working hard to bring it back down. One more month and I will have it checked again.

I wish you luck on getting things to where you want them to be. Just remember time, patience, and perserverence is what it takes.
