My a1c went from 6.9 to 6.8! It is always so exciting when you expect your a1c to go up, and instead it goes down instead! I was definitely not expecting that. I guess I am doing something right after all!

Awesome job! Mine is high but Iām hoping I can bring it down with my new Cgm. So far so good. Keep up the good work. 
Our son (age 2) was diagnosed Feb of this year. Upon diagnosis, he was 13.something. One month after diagnosis, after on Insulin, he was 8.something. Then he went up from there to 9.something. Now, according to our Dexcom G5 Clarity app (we havenāt gotten the āupdatedā 3 month A1C yet), he is at 7.7. We are about to get him on the pump next week and we hope to get down into the 6ās ourselves.
Gratz on your accomplishment!

Congrats!! Nothing like a good surprise to make your day.
Way to go. Keep up,the good work.
Iām always pleased when my A1C report goes in the ārightā direction, especially when I anticipate it wonāt.
I just had a positive report myself a couple weeks ago, mine dropped from 6.8 to 6.3, the lowest Iāve seen since being diagnosed as T1 several years ago.
Congratulations on your positive report!!!

Well, my blood draw did everything but my A1C! Helloā¦who is the scapegoat here? The person who drew my blood or my Dr for not writing it down maybe? As is, she is gone studying medicine in another state and I have a new Dr that I can say I am very impressed with!
If you may remember me notating that I had jury duty and the old dr would not write me a releaseā¦ I sometimes am in the bathroom 6 times in one hrā¦helloā¦ My new Dr said that I can skip my morning dose and go for a week with just my evening dose of metformin (non time release) and that you are not that bad that you canāt skip 1/2 a dose for a week. As it was, my jury duty started Tuesday after Labor Day and each day they had no jury trial in sessionā¦so no jury duty all week for meā¦I was so relievedā¦ ( I had not spoke with my new Dr about the issue, so I was really sweating each day!).
Was quite happy with other discussions on other areas of testing That I can have and I was never informed of by my other Dr. My new Dr seems very knowledgeable about diabetes and high cholesterol and told me I should be taking a baby aspirin a day to avoid stroke.
Doing a happy dance with all these results and getting a very knowledgeable Dr to boot! She told me we could wait for 3 months for my A1C as my daily number that particular day was ok!
