When we went to the hospital on October 7, Eric’s Hba1c was 9.9. I’m delighted to report that at today’s checkup, six weeks later, it’s 8.6! With six more weeks of insulin therapy, I fully expect we’ll be at or close to the target of ~7.0. Not much more to say about it than that, but I’m pretty happy that all’s going so well.
Hoorah! 
Congratulations!!!
