His Hba1c's depend on what time of year it is. During the summer I always keep him right at 7- 7.5. In the winter, until this year, his asthma would get him and he would be on steroids for around 3 months, so his hba1c was usually up to about 13 at those times of the year. DO try to relax. Just that alone will help your blood sugars, and you do need to find your comfort range. Especially at first, you feel like you have to be perfect, but that is alot of work. You'll eventually find a balance between control and your life. Also, as time goes on, everything will come more naturally to you, and you will start to relax then, too.
