[QUOTE="Z_e_u_s, post: 2481317, member: 539495"] Received same results last December but what I am very confused about is that my Hba1C has gone down consistently since diagnosis (over a year ago) and has been sitting within 'normal' range for almost a year (32 last blood test in September same as previous one in May last year). MySgr app is telling me it has gone down even more since my last check and I can see my insuline tolerance has improved since I see lower numbers than I used to. I had NO signs of retinopathy when my Hba1C was high (96 at diagnosis) but had neurological damage showing once I started to control it (also had bad neuropathy..now milder but taking ALA and turned to acupuncture for that). So, at least in my case, being careful and bringing numbers down doesn't necessarily mean keeping troubles away. As a consolation I am having ice-cream more often ;) P.S.: I am not encouraging anybody to turn to ice-cream if you don't see rewards for your hard work! I am just stating where I am at right now.
