Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Diabetes / August 2007A!C Below 6.0 Since DX.
I've managed to keep my A!C below 6.0 since my diagnosis 4 1/2 years ago. The lab test came back 5.2 yesterday. If I can maintain these numbers,is it possible to escape the worst complications? Thanks. D. Byrnes > I've managed to keep my A!C below 6.0 since my diagnosis 4 1/2 years > ago. The lab test came back 5.2 yesterday.

Byrnes I feel there is more to good health then A1C and the numbers you see on your meter. doing real cardio or building up to it is very important. building muscle is important. not sitting in front of your computer or TV for hours at a time is not healthy. congrats on your A1C's  SignatureTom www.TomsDiabeticDiary.com Chat in peace with other diabetes at the American Diabetes Associations Web Site. http://community.diabetes.org/n/pfx/forum.aspx?nav=index&webtag=amdiabetesz&redi rCnt=1 Information You Can "Trust" From Your American Diabetes Association www.diabetes.org Information on Specific Types of Fat. http://www.diabetes.org/nutrition-and-recipes/nutrition/foodlabel/specific-fats.jsp > I've managed to keep my A!C below 6.0 since my diagnosis 4 1/2 years > ago.

That is what Bernstein says in "Diabetes Solution". At the least, it will certainly delay any complications. BTW - Congratulations!! - my last was also 5.2 - I'm shooting to try and get below 5. Very admirable! I hope i can make the same claim in 4 years as well! I am certain it is making a big difference and even if it isnt yet... prevention is the best cure and all that.

The converse has to be true - that you would increase your chance of complications by running high bg numbers. Life being a lottery, of course, there's no guarantees either way...

Byrnes It's only one indicator among others such as lipids and cardiovascular symptoms - but a darned important one. Congratulations on that result - tell us what you did to achieve it, we are always ready to learn from success. Do you know your lipids (cholesterol) numbers too?

Did you make any lifestyle changes 4-1/2 years ago? Do you feel better now than at the time of diagnosis? What meds, if any, are you on to achieve such numbers? Whatever you are doing seems to be working for you. Andrew T2 D&E |
