[QUOTE="therower, post: 1381343, member: 47983"] Hi [USER=370779]@kellie lees[/USER]. With your husband being only 5 weeks diagnosed I wouldn't be overly concerned at the moment. If you are using a meter and you are getting 7. on average then that's good and your husbands actual hba1c should actually be around the 6 mark. It takes time to get diabetes right and even then it needs tweaking constantly. Your husband as you may already be aware may go through a honeymoon period which ultimately doesn't give a true reflection of being diabetic. Continue with what you feels is working, keeping sugars at a consistent level, no excessive weight gain, hypos to a minimum and a feeling of general well being. You should know when the honeymoon period is coming to an end as things become more challenging but with the information you take on board now things will make more sense and be easier to manage. DAFNE is a great course but it's my understanding that you won't be put on a course for 18/24 months after diagnosis because of you being in the honeymoon period. Good luck and keep posting [/QUOTE]
