There was a point mid-April where my A1C had been as high as 7.6, which sounded (to me) like I must have just had High-sugar Hawaiian Punch and ice cream sodas running though my veins, but I hadn't fasted because I hadn't expected to be taking any blood tests. I started with using Glucerna and all that diabetes stuff. When they checked my blood the last week of August, I knew I was going to the doctor so i did the full eight-hour fast that I usually do, and this time it was 6.0, still not fabulous, but out of the super-danger range.
