[QUOTE="DCUKMod, post: 1751381, member: 345386"] [USER=349600]@wiseowl_123[/USER] - My advice to you would be to have a bit of a ponder over things and start to look towards the much longer term. When I had had a couple of normal HbA1cs I realised that no matter how hard I might try, my HbA1cs were never going to go downwards every time they were taken. We have lives to live, and things happen in our lives that we can't always control, like illness, stress and so on. The conclusion I came to, for me, was that I would set myself an HbA1c range I find acceptable for me. I won't say what that range is because it's only relevant to me. Using that strategy, for me, reduces the emotional rollercoaster. It's a long life to live if we're going to be stressed every time we have some bloods done. If I have looked after myself fairly well, live a full life and done the things I've wanted to do, I will accept my HbA1c will vary a bit. Should I find myself at the top of my range, or if I breach it, I might have to swap a few things around, but I'm not going to put myself through the mental self-flagellation for a minor variation.
