[QUOTE="Caleb Murdock, post: 221282, member: 37907"] I have to disagree with some of the posters who have made it sound like it's okay to have an A1c of 7 or more. Studies have shown that you can develop diabetic complications with an A1c of 7. Personally, I think we should all be aiming for an A1c that is low enough to avoid any complications (which, in my judgement, is probably in the vicinity of 5.5). I'm not suggesting that anyone feel ashamed of having a high A1c -- shame or embarrassment does us no good. But don't be satisfied with an A1c at a level that could harm you. I don't know what "dsn" stands for, but an A1c of 7.8 is not one that any doctor should be happy with. That is quite high. [/QUOTE]
