Bragging ... just a little

I'll make this short and sweet, but I've reached my proudest accomplishment yet in terms of my diabetes management:

a 6.1% a1c test

This test measures average blood glucose control over a 3 month period and 6.1% is my lowest ever! Not only am I feeling great about it, but also extremely proud that this took into account blood sugars from October, November, and December when holidays and sugary foods were more than abundant and blood sugar control tends to be a little less than stellar, to say the least.

If I could tell my 14 year old self (with an a1c test of 13% by the way) that this was possible, I would gladly travel back in time to do so. There is no greater feeling of personal accomplishment than this. Just ask my doctor, he said I'm one of his very best patients. I just can't lie, once the class pet, always the class pet :-) And boy does it feel good!
