Every appointment we are given what his latest a1c is and this is what I dread most about the appointment. This last one was 8.0% - I can't remember the one before, but it was somewhere in the 7%'s. The goal is 7.5% or below - we fluctuate on and/or around that number all the time. We aren't doing bad, but there is room for improvement. Zane is healthy, he feels good and he is growing like crazy and really in the end, that is all that matters.
I have a hard time believing that we've been at this for almost 4 years now - wow! This disease really is 24/7 - it never stops. Thank God I have an awesome mother-in-law who is very well equipped to handle Zane's D care when I/we need a break or just when they want the boys for a weekend! We are so lucky. We have also met some amazing people because of his diagnosis, so I'm a firm believer that everything happens for a reason and that there are silver linings to most dark clouds!
Sure is hard work waiting around for your name to be called to go back and see the doctor! I love Children's!
