Ten months later, my A1c is 6.5 and I’m still striving to get it lower. I always exercised but I’m even more proud of myself for my hard work because it’s more challenging as a diabetic. I have to know my numbers pre and post workout, bolus different, etc. While being diagnosed has been a game changer, I remind myself daily that there are many worse diseases. I can still do all the things I used to do, spend time with my family, feel good physically, and hope it stays that way for a long, long time
