What’s your A1c?

Kassie blogged about A1C’s, and how one person’s gidd A1C number is another person’s bad one.

For example, my A1C is 6.6. Most people would be happy with that, but my last A1C was 6.0.

Don’t get me wrong, a 6.6 is NOT a bad A1C at all. It takes a lot of work to get there. It’s winter — and research shows that diabetics A1C does go up in the winter, plus we’ve just gotten through the holidays.

I just want to reemphasis — be careful how you react to an A1C, and maybe a smilie rather than a number would be better!

    Your right Kathleen, I consider a 6.6 good. My last was 7.8–I can do better than that, just a little too much grazing in the kitchen and not compensating with a bolus, or enough of a bolus. Basically not enough self-discipline which, I might add, you seem to be doing pretty well!
