My goal for my June visit is to have an even lower A1C. If I can get it to 6-7, that would be super! I think I can do this by eating consistently, continuing to exercise regularly, and taking my medication as prescribed.
Hooray for me!!
Woah! Look at your numbers! You put in work! I never understand all of the abbreviations & what they mean, but I know for certain that the drops in the average glucose and the LDL are huge. I'm so happy for you!
