My current A1C was 5.7
I have diabetes though.
Just like me. I have diabetes with a 5.7 A1C.
My doctor was pleased with my results.
Last year my A1C was at 6.1 so my numbers improved.
Do you watch your diet? I’m only taking Glipizide. No insulin. My A1C came down after getting off Zyprexa. I’m just watching sugar and high glycemic index foods such as white rice.
I take Metformin no insulin.
Yes I’m on a special low carb diet.
My current A1C is 5.5, but I’ve been diagnosed with diabetes
That’s great Pianogal. You got good control.
In my last blood test it was 5.7.
But you haven’t had diabetes level A1C?
No I am not diagnosed with diabetes. Psychiatrist prescribed me Metformin for weight loss but I dont always take it.
I’ve heard that’s what they do with prediabetes. My sister was concerned she was going to become prediabetic, but I don’t think she went on Metformin.
I developped high cholesterol from Zyprexa then they stopped the Zyprexa as it was also not working for my psychosis. I was half psychotic on it. I think 15-20mg.
With me there was a big weight gain and elevated blood sugar on Zyprexa.
Yea I gained weight fast on Zyprexa too.
My A1C is about 7.8, It was at 7.9. I’m unable to change my diet, not just because of motivation but of finance too. And I can’t eat less or not drink anything without sugar. If I’m lucky I will be dead in couple of years, if not my legs probably get amputated because of my smoking.
i was prediabetic, but i lost forty or fifty pounds and changed my diet, and now i’m normal
