Girlwitha... Hang in there and keep plugging! This is a tough fight, just remember it's for you and keep at it! Good luck.0 -
Nice work! You're right where I want to be.
I was just told that if I can get into the 5's by November I can try coming off the Metformin.
12.87 in May, 6.12 yesterday, and I am going to strive for 5 in November.0 -
Nice work!!!! I am getting mine done next week and I'm worried it will be higher than last time.0

Excellent work! You should be very proud of yourself.0

That is great new. Sound like a plan to me.0

wonderful results!!0

My most recent A1C was 10.4! I'm working to get it down in the next 3 months! Hoping to see some great results since I got put back on my regular insulin. I take Lantus 2X per day and Novolog when I need it. I also take the max dose of Metformin, so I'm truly hoping changing my diet helps as well.0

That's great news, well done. Success stories are always an encouragement to all of us still on the journey.0

Thanks everyone. I am not on any medication or insulin. I was told in April if I couldn't bring it down with diet and exercise I would have to go on medication. Good luck to all of you!0

That's awesome! I brought mine down from 7.4 to 6.1, but hoping to hit that 5.7 mark next time I get my labwork done.0

Thank you! I could not handle the regular metformin, it made me sick, so I stopped taking it. Got a new [much nicer, and way more helpful] primary doctor, and met with a diabetes educator today. On Metformin ER [Extended Release] 500mg/daily and it has made the world of a difference in regards to my body having zero side effect to it.
I have noticed with exercise and better food choices my readings, while still high, range from 130-220 vs the 220-441 I have hit before.0 -
Gratz on your A1C... I find out my results on Aug. 9th Way way back I actually had one that came back at 15 (ouch), That was when I was still in denial. It went from 6.9 to 15. I don't remember what my last one was, but it was I think 6.7??? I will ask my doctor on the 9th to make sure. I am hoping this one is in the lower 5's.0

Bumpity, bump, bump
My doctor ordered some lab work ahead of my next appointment next week and one was an A1C. My number is down to 5.6!!!! My initial diagnosis was with a 7.2 at the first of the year so I am thrilled!0 -
Awesome improvement!!!!0

Awesome improvement!!!!
Thanks! I even got this note on the top of the test results from my doctor "awesome A1C result, good job!"
I love:
1) MyChart so I get test results at the same time that the doctor does
2) My primary care. She is a Nurse Practitioner who makes me feel like she sees me as a person. (She also has a PhD in nursing so I can call her Doctor V even though she is not an MD)0 -
Congrats!! That's great. I had my first A1C test a month ago and it was 11.4. Hopefully in two months when I do it again it will be down. I've been taking my medication, eating healthier and exercising.0

Congratulations! Great numbers!0

Excellent Results Keep up the effort.
It's amazing how every one who posts to this forum truly know how much effort is required to make those numbers.
Too everyone who is going to have their A1c tests in the next few weeks, I sending out good wishes for happy results.0 -

I had mine checked in March (I get it done every 3 months) and it was its lowest ever - 5.3! I was very proud of myself. If I can stay below 6.0 I'm usually happy with the result.
earlnabby - great job on the A1C and the weightloss.
To everyone else, I read an interesting article recently about the benefits of short bouts of High Intensity Training before meals and the positive impact that can have on blood sugar for after that meal and even the next day. A summary of it is in this blog but if you click the link you can also get to the full article

Those are the three things needed! Keep it up and I am sure you will see a reduction in the number.0 -

A1C on January 23rd 6.6
A1c this morning 5.3
Doctor was happy so I was able to reduce my blood pressure dose by half. I knew I was doing well so it felt kind of anticlimactic.
In this instant gratification world in which we live baby steps are so hard. I think that may be why MFP works so well for many of us, if we say we want to lose two pounds a week it gives us a number. We lose three pounds and we think we cheated the system. we feel like we scored this huge victory over one lousy pound. After all it said in black and white we need to eat to a certain number to lose two pounds.
Although as I sit here I realize it is the series of little victories that help us win the battle. Last week for the first time in my life I needed to intentionally go out and buy a new belt that was smaller than the previous belt I had bought. I had punched three new holes in the old belt but the tag end was reaching to far around it was looking some what strange.0 -

Congrats on the great number! You worked hard yo get those good results so enjoy your triumph.
Also, congrats on the new belt. I love that feeling!
My swimming suit for my water exercise class is a little too loose (haven't bounced any boobies out of it yet, but it is a concern) so I bought a new suit that is 2 sizes smaller than the one I have. It is still a little too snug to wear. My bank account cannot afford a new one for each size. At least my pants are elastic with a drawstring so I can wear them through about 3 sizes before I need to replace.0 -
Hang in there, folks.
If I can do it, anyone can. I started out with a 14.5 A1C (!!!!!) and, at my last checkup on May 7th, my A1C registered at a beautiful 4.9. 
It can be done! 0
