In February, I (51M) was diagnosed with diabetes with an A1C of 11. In retrospect, not surprising looking at my diet and the fact that my exercise regime consisted of talking about how I needed to get some.
I left the Doctor's Office with a prescription for a meter and metformin and kind of wondering where to go now. Decided this called for a stack of grief pancakes, them reconsidered. Tested the next morning after basically starving myself for the day and got 191mg/dL.
I played around with diet and in about a month, I was occasionally hitting the 130s. Threw in bike riding because knees, got into the 120s. Kept pushing and losing weight and now I'm 217lbs from a start of 255, with a 4 inch reduction in waist size. My fasting blood sugar runs 85-97. If I don't exercise, the next day is 103-109.
My question is about range. I've been trying to find out what a good number is. All the info I can find is large ranges. 72-130 for diabetics. Under 100 for non diabetics. I'd like a tighter tolerance. After all, aim small, miss small. Is there a number or say a 10 point range that is considered ideal? I had a 79 this morning and the Mysugr app flagged it as low.
