[QUOTE="mimo, post: 452239, member: 28447"] I visited my diabetic nurses this week for my A1C results. She advised me that it is 7.2. Bearing in mine my last one was 10.5. With this in mind she still wanted me to get it lower. I advised that I was finding this difficult at the moment as I was feeling hungry all the time. She advised to drink more water. Fair point but bearing in mind I was told to do this 3 years ago by a nurse who didn't listen to all my other symptoms and get me tested for diabetes, I know that drinking more water is not going to help. So I have another appointment with the specialist diabetic nurse from the hospital and my nurse has suggested that I might just have to come to terms with my pancreas giving up and that insulin might be the next step. With a A1C of 7.2?!? It just doesn't seem right. Please advise me on your experiences and if this is a good A1C level as I am lost. Am type 2, on metformin 1500mg and gliclazide x2 30mg. I look forward to hearing from my fellow diabetic friends. [/QUOTE]
