Got an update...I received new blood tests results today and have a follow-up appointment with my PCP next Friday. My A1C has went down from 9.9% to 7.1%. I was expecting better in a month, but better than nothing?? However, since I cut down on carbs, increased protein (maybe too much)...

Hi All, I am apparently going down to testing just before meals and maybe randomly after a meal. I called the doctors office for a new prescription for more soft lancets and test strips. The doctor called me back and said there must have been a misunderstanding. I only need to test before meals...
