[QUOTE="Mep, post: 1313859, member: 211362"] Yeh my endo likes me to have 5-6 in the mornings. But mine can vary as I sometimes get 7's as well... had a 7.1 this morning. But most mornings I'm around 6 mark. You may be affected by the dawn phenomenon perhaps? But if your hbA1c is getting higher it just may a review of diet and meds that you need. Your hbA1c although creeping up is still below 7 which is what they like to see. But I can understand your concern as you want to keep it the lowest you can get it. As I mentioned already because you've had diabetes for 12 years now it may be worth getting diagnostic tests done to just check you're on the right treatment. I'd say you probably do still produce insulin because when I was having problems at 12 year mark my hbA1c was 9.2 and it was the highest I'd ever had. My docs agreed something must be wrong and they found what it was for me. I still want to work on my hbA1c but I find my other health conditions interfere with my diabetes management a fair bit. Considering what i deal with my endo is happy I manage to keep my hbA1c below 7 mostly... sometimes it is on 7 or 7.1 but not higher. I'd love to get my hbA1c down in the 5's but I also know that would be low numbers on my meter mostly which just doesn't happen all the time. I have my good and bad days. [/QUOTE]
