Yesterday I spent an hour on the elliptical in the gym, observed my BG trend headed toward the basement (sometimes depending on the workout, it doesn't do this), and had 12 grams of carbs to bring me back to a nice stable BG <b>before</b> I crashed big time. I <b>know</b> that my A1C will improve as well because I've modified my eating behavior since I've gone on CGMS.Garyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11056835153052063630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31030679.post-3558469958700466992006-10-13T15:36:00.000-04:002006-10-13T15:36:00.000-04:00I WASN'T disappointed when my first Dexcom-using A...I WASN'T disappointed when my first Dexcom-using A1c came back almost .5 higher than the previous. And neither was my endo.<br /><br />We both recognized it for what it was: a huge reduction in catastrophic LOWS. Spending half the night below 40 mg/dL makes your A1c LOOK great, but it's not really a good thing at all.<br /><br />After they die and stop eating, dead people have A1c's near zero, right? Fixate on reality, not the lab numbers. If your daily graphs are all good, the aic will be taken care of: Your continuous testing results are a more accurate measure-- the A1C test is now really superfluous, merely a double-check tool.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
