When I was dx my Ac was 7.7 (Sept 09) In Nov 09 I took a free A1C at Walgreens & got a 6.4. Yesterday I had the blood test done for the A1c for my Pcp, who I go to see next week. I’m thinking it will be somewhere between 6 & 6.5 based on my 30 day meter averages. I have no doubt she will be happy with that, but I’m not.
Its my morning readings that are the killer, they are too high, this morning it was 150 & yesterday it was 146, same as at midnight, (bedtime). I am restricting carbs, eating between 50 to 100 a day, some days probably under 50. & I don’t think I have the willpower to restrict them anymore, at least for any length of time. walk every evening for 30 minutes, & that is about all I can do too, with my other health issues. So I feel more meds is the way to go to get lower numbers,
I’m wondering whether to ask for Met 750 daily or stay on the 500 Met & get another add on.
Any opinions?
