    I wish mine was down to 5.4. It's hovering between 5.7 and 6.0.

    Maybe if I gave up on my weekly slice or two of pizza (that's not happening) my weekly mac & cheese side (that's not happening, although I do leave the bread off of my meatball sub - yes, that does make it a lot harder to hold in my hands, thank you very
    much) my every other week or so chili cheese fries (you got it - also in the "not happening" column) my every couple of months or so lasagna (and by that, I mean, I go through an entire 9 x 13 baking dish in less than a week - and anything less than once
    a month is already cutting back)...

    Is this a normal test done on a CMP or CBC? I don't find that test
    anywhere, just a blood glucose. I have another hemoglobin test that
    has a range from 13-17.


    It's what my doctor told me. Mine (and most, I think) are mg/dL for
    daily readings, while A1C is a 3-month average. Here's a chart about
    each.

    Standard (no diabetes): Less than 5.7%
    Prediabetes: 5.7% to 6.5%
    Diabetes: 6.5% or higher

    Adults with type 1 diabetes (see guidance) 80–130 mg/dL < 180 mg/dL (1 or 2 hours after)
    Adults with type 2 diabetes (see guidance) 80–130mg/dL < 180 mg/dL and (1 or 2 hours after)

    It's tough being a conservative white male. You get up in the morning
    knowing there are blacks to oppress, women to demean, an entire
    ecological environment to pollute, unions to squash, children to
    endanger, identity groups to offend, tax loopholes to exploit, and
    countless acts of hatred to commit. With all that work to be done at
    least your day goes quickly. -- Bobber Fleck

    I guess they don't order A1C unless you are at least pre-diabetic. I've never heard any rumblings about it for me.

    Nice!

    I take it you have Type 1?

    My A1C is creeping up again at 6.3. Too much pasta, potatoes, and bagels

    Mine got up to 6.3, but after the better part of a year on the What's That diet, I got it down to 5.7 (not to mention losing about 60 pounds).

    What's the "What's That" diet? Simple -
    Bread, including things like hamburger buns;
    Pizza;
    Pasta;
    Rice;
    Beans;
    Most fruit;
    Pretty much all desserts -
    What's That?
    (Seriously, it's pretty much a low total carb - that's total, and not net - diet)

    Why the pump for Type 2? Usually A1C can be brought down substantially
    by diet (watching carbs and sugars), exercise, and weight loss. Any
    other issues that require active intervention?

    My mom has Type 2, and her insulin was inexplicably spiking super high during the night, and she had to get a pump.

    And, of course when I said insulin in the above sentence, I actually meant blood glucose.

    Interestingly, that's how I read it. Going to 47 in your sleep isn't fun.
