Type 1
Hi everyone. I've had type 1 diabetes for nearly 21 years, I'm now nearly 26. I'm on lantus and novorapid and have been for around 7 years. Been naughty over the years drinking a red bull a day and eating rubbish. Didn't used to check BG whatsoever although attended all or the majority of annual checks. Highest ever Hba1c was 11%. Learnt from it. My current is 6%. Stopped drinking anything sugar related for the last 12 months. I test atleast 6 times a day. Thanks
 

Welcome to the forums @Josh1990 , glad you've got the beast under control.
 
Hello and welcome josh1990, good to see you are on the right path now and long may it continue

Best wishes RRB
 
That is a great HbA1c @Josh1990, welcome to the forum
 
Hi guys @Robinredbreast and @noblehead thank you very much. I've been told 6% is too low and to try and get it around 7.5%. I know 6% is very good but also on the low side so I'm happy with anything under 7% hope you guys are coping well also
 
Hi @Josh1990. Welcome to the forum . 6% doesn't sound so bad to me...if you're happy at that level and not having too many hypo's...wheres the problem?
