Went to my Endo today for a pre-pump class. They had me run down to the lab to get an A1C test done, first one since being diagnosed in Feb. When diagnosed, I was 15.4, today I was...6.7! While that is not as low as my end goal, it is certainly a step in the right direction, so I am pretty happy with it

Cheers,

Jeremy

Holy cow, Jeremy! In three short months?! That's an incredible improvement! Just wait'll you get that pump revved up!

Nice job Jeremy! What pump are you getting? I figured I would be on one some day... What did you think of the expo?

Thanks Shanny! I can honestly say this forum played a huge part in my success so far. I am very thankful for everyone's help over the last few months and hope to pay it back (and forward) in the future.

Cheers,

Jeremy

Thanks! I am looking at the Medtronic pump. It holds 300 units of insulin and has some pretty neat features. The price is a bit hefty at $7,000 but insurance should pick up most of it (let's hope!)

The Expo was pretty cool. Like you said, it was quite a bit of ADA hype, but I listened to a couple of speakers and thought they were interesting. The healthy food stuff was kind of funny as there were many things I would not touch with a ten foot pole. Sorry we missed each other.

Cheers,

Jeremy

wow, that's a big difference Jeremy... well done! My last HbA1c was 6.6 and I was pretty happy with that. I've not been below 7 in years. I think it's the insulin that makes a big difference too.
