The Normal Blood Sugar Diabetic How I Keep My Average Blood Glucose Level NORMAL even though I’m Type-1 Diabetic

Unheard Of
The last time I went in for a diabetic check-up, my doctor was so impressed with my continued normal blood sugar level as measured by the routine hemoglobin A1c test that she said, “You should write a book”.

According to an earlier doctor I had, who was also astonished with my blood sugar levels, a diabetic should try to keep their blood sugar level below 7.0 (as measured by H A1c).

A normal, non-diabetic person’s HA1c is usually between 4.7 and 6.4.  He also told me that if I watched my blood sugar level, I could live a full life, even though statistics are very unfavorable for those with diabetes.

My HA1c results have included numbers like 6.2, 5.3, 5.8, and 4.9 -- "normal" for a non-diabetic, but I have had Type 1 diabetes since May of 2005.  I guess that makes me a bit of a specialist in the topic......

A Doable Accomplishment
For me, I would say that watching my blood sugar level is just a new reality or adjustment in my life – another good habit to adopt, like brushing and flossing teeth before going to bed. I wouldn’t say that it is super challenging. It’s not so difficult that only a rare expert or prodigy might accomplish it. I would say that it is within the grasp of most people willing to do what it takes.......
