[QUOTE="MikeZ, post: 816533, member: 169115"] Thanks to you both. Yes, I am aware of the A1C being a 3 month average. I guess I was hoping that I just had a bad 3 months and that I had perhaps nipped it in the bud, so to speak... by taking immediate action. I'm going to view the entire situation as a positive for me. Because, although I had began a diet prior to the test, I knew something was "wrong" and the A1C simply confirmed it and pushed me to work even harder to gain control of my health. Lazybones, this sentence was the answer to my question: [I]"Sadly once someone has crossed the criteria for diagnosing their diabetes in the first instant, they will have diabetes with them throughout their lives."[/I] Of course I'm not thrilled but, again, it sort of takes the matter of choice out of my hands. I HAVE to take care of myself. So that's what I will do. I am still determined to get off of the meds. I guess I'll have to wait and see on that. Thanks again. Back to lurking :) [/QUOTE]
