—To Family and Friends Who Keep Up With My Health—
I saw my endocrinologist today. He’s in charge of my diabetes, among other things.
My A1C was 7.4% today.
On my last check, it was 7.5%. The lower, the better.
My goal is to get back to 5.8%, which is what it was one year ago.
I’m still relatively new to diabetes and still learning.
I was eating first and then seeing how high my blood sugar went before giving myself insulin.
I’ve been doing it long enough now that I can give an educated guess on how much insulin I will need for the meal I am going to eat.
So, I now give myself my insulin twenty minutes before eating.
The appointment went well. I will follow up with him in four months.
That’s all for now.
Love you,
–Lynn
