Way to go! Your hard work has been paying off. Of course, I'm sure my next A1C will be far worse than my one at diagnosis. (It was only 5.3, and my sugars have been trending higher lately...especially since I'm not yet on meds. But my A1C after that one, should be hopefully back in a good range, as I plan to work hard at controlling this monster).
