Hi Devon. First, I’m sorry you weren’t able to achieve the goal you’d been going after. I know from experience how frustrating that can be, and even how disappointing it seems when we DON’T set a goal but go up… Not easy, at all. But I try to look at it as this is all a work in progress, even after my own 27 years. I’m always doing cartwheels and struggling and doing my best to manage and LIVE my life, with diabetes along for the ride. That’s what Endos often don’t see - that this is OUR life, and we aren’t just numbers on a chart. I haven’t heard that 30% increase above 6.0, but to me it seems like more of a scare tactic than something I’d really want to personally fret over. To me, it’s about achieving an acceptable A1c SAFETLY. We gotta do it our way, as we live our lives. It helps me to talk about my diabetetes, write and blog and Tweet about it, just interact. On the mind more and focuses me. Same goes with writing down every result and having that log with me, so I can see it and feel accountable. Anyhow, good luck on your end and look forward to seeing you drop it down!
