    Feeling very deflated

    So, got my hba1c results today, just coming to the end if my trial, hba1c was 8.4 before starting, now 8.2!!! I'm on 3% hypos and 7% over target. I don't get why it's not lower. I've tried so hard and my day to day bs levels are great. Is 6 months long enough to see a change?
