How far have you gone this playthrough?

The last three mornings, my blood sugar readings have been 121, 111, 124, and for a guy that allowed his Blood Sugars to get so high, I ended up losing a pair of toes over, that is great news.

That sounds awesome, keep it up!
And A1C, well it's basically a three-month average - so three days won't fix it, but if you stick to those levels for three months ...

My doc said it was a 6 month average, and that mine was 11. My blood sugars have been down since at least Monday, April 27th. When I went back to the ER, it was 105 in the ambulance, 80 later that night, and in the morning, after a turkey sandwich, it went back up to 93.

I don't expect a miracle, but I do look forward to the first of many A1C readings that will get down lower and lower, till I bottom out at a sane level.

When I think about all the warnings I ignored...

I'm just glad I have a chance to get better.

From my latest HN, a demonstration of my bad aim, lol.

3 zombies are closing in, and there is one yellow loot bag on the ground.

I swing and miss, or rather, I jab and miss, but...

I managed to miss the Jerry's Kid I was aiming at, but killed the Fast Attack Grandma right behind him, got a second yellow loot bag, and the Died Without a Name fat chick is still inbound.

Heh, you nerd sniped* me ... did some "maths". Starting with an 11, spending14 days at about 100, =>
- A1C-90-day-avg predicts 10.08,
- A1C-180-day-avg predicts 10.54

No idea how accurate the measurements are in practice, the difference between 10 and 10.5 is 5%..
But let's root for a 10.5 at most!

When I went to the ER back in October (lost all my toes on my left foot), my A1C was 12.4. When I had it checked about 6 weeks ago, it was down to 5.7, so it's certainly possible to get it down. Just keep on top of your insulin and what you eat. I know it can be difficult. bit it's definitely worth it. Lord knows I feel much better now than I used to.

Good luck!

Gangrene! I hope they got it all, and in a couple months, I hope to be back up and around.

yup, gangrene and sepsis. It wasn't pretty, but I seem to be all better now. A bit annoyed I need to always wear shoes in order to walk, but other than that I'm pretty much better than I was before.
