H1abc results came dissapointed

Hello folks,

I’ve been a T1D for 10+ years, recently I got a CGM (libre) and wanted to keep better control of my BG levels.

My last two H1A1C results were 7.4 and 7.6. Now I got a H1A1C at 7.8. I’m dissapointed because I thought I was managing my BG much better with the CGM. I was expecting a sevenish result but hoped for 7.2-7.4.

Maybe this is due to covid and not getting enough exercise, disruption of daily routine.

I am going to cut down on fast food and occasional alcohol binge drinking, and will try to get more exercise.

How do you manage with dissapointments? Is an A1C around 7.8 bad?
