hba1cs
hey everyone, just wondering (hope not too personal) if ya’ll
wouldnt mind sharing what your hba1cs have been like over the
years that you’ve had the big “D”…just out of curiosity, to
see if ive been doing real shitty compared to everyone else
(which is probably true, ha)…
thanks..
oh, and what do your endos suggest your hba1cs be at.

Hey! I’ve already told you my son’s hba1cs, but I just got a
newsletter in the mail today from his clinic with an article about
a1cs. It says the average at that clinic is 4-6. They also say that
the ADA recommends 1 above normal which is 7, so I guess they mean
around 7-8. This article also has a a little side note about
converting a1cs to avg bgs-
(hba1c -2) *30= your overall average bg. Hope that helps!

yeah…7-8 is my REALISTIC measure..my first A1c ever was a 6.7
but that was a TOTAL pain in the ass to attain, and i suffered
much anxiety and MANY hypos…hence, anything below 8 will now
cause me less pain, and a more realistic way to live a “normal”
life…
thanks for the post…bassem
