My insurance doesn’t cover sensors so I’ve had to use pricks since I was diagnosed with T1 8 months ago. I’ve been struggling with keeping my BS down the past few months, my 90-day average since my last A1C had increased from 6.1 to 7.0.
Turns out I had nothing to worry about!! I got another test 2 days ago, and my new A1C is 5.7!!! I’m beyond shocked, I thought because my readings have been so high and I’ve had such few lows that it would be higher than my A1C in May, which was 6.1. I was also happy with this, like BEYOND happy, because when I was diagnosed (Nov 2019) I was OVER 15%, I was lucky I didn’t die.
I’m starting the omnipod in less than 2 weeks, but I use Novorapid and Tresiba insulins and the OneTouch Verio Reflect meter. The meter really lead me to believe that my A1C was going to be awful. To celebrate, I’m going to get a tattoo for The Beetus instead of a medical alert item that I’m very likely to lose. I don’t really have anyone that understands the excitement I’m feeling right now, so I thought I’d share it with y’all.
I wish everyone here a blessed A1C during these difficult times! I believe in each and everyone one of you!
