WARNING! Perky Update! 3/14/2015 Just a quick update with the goings on. So far my fasting numbers are still looking great and I am still expecting my A1C to be in the normal range on my next visit to D-Rex. My body is still getting use to the lower numbers and my weight is at a standstill right now BUT... I am not worried at all. Once the nausea subsides during normal blood sugar readings I am sure things will start to even out so I can get in treadmill time and other exercises. My back is doing better but still not 100%. I'm not worried about that either. It will heal when my body is ready. I am emotionally at the point that it does absolutely no good to freak out over my health.

Here is the link https://www.accu-chek.com/us/glucose-monitoring/a1c-calculator.html#  if anyone cares to check it out and give a whirl.  Now..if I have the number correct... my A1C for the last 44 days is 5.63. That is based on the total amount of my am readings for the last 44 days which is 5,059 and was divided by 44 (days) Which means my A1C has gone down 1.38 since my last lab work 1/15/2015. This gives me a grand total of a 9.37 drop within the last nine months. Even if my number is off a little... it will still put my A1C in the normal range. Now I know this site isn't 100% accurate bu it does give you a decent ballpark number to work with. ...
