[QUOTE="VickiT11979, post: 352167, member: 53386"] I was diagnosed 33 years ago age 8, really no idea what my HbA1cs used to be, but I expect reasonably high as that was the days of urine glucose testing so no real self monitoring. I think the hospital were always fairly happy with my control & I never went off the rails. I have a letter with a HbA1c of 8.6% from 1997 & in the last few years it's been 7.4-8.2%. I got it down to 7% last November through testing & recording my results & changing my diet. I did get some background retinopathy after I'd had diabetes about 22 years but there's not been any on my last 2 retinal screens. I don't have any other complications. I've never smoked & have never been overweight. [/QUOTE]
