A1c

And the number is..... 7.1 !!! Down from 12.7 (yiiiikes) when I started. Ideally diabetics should stay under 6.5 (Dr. Hyman says 5.5 because 6-6.5 in normal people would be considered pre-diabetes). Anywayyyy I am soooo sooooooo happy with this number!!! I still need to go completely off my meds, and I haven't started regular exercise yet, so as I mentioned before I've got some hard work ahead. But for right this second I'm just grateful for this huge change in my health. And I made it happen!!
