This afternoon has been a very interesting one when it comes to my diabetes.  After hearing about how great my hourly blood sugar was and how it is one of the best that the doctor has ever seen, I was on cloud nine.  The doctor then went on to talk about my hourly standard deviation (that link does a great job of explaining standard deviation and what it means to diabetics) how my standard deviation numbers were very good.  He was impressed that my numbers are very consistent.  

When I was given my A1C all of the praise I was given earlier went away.  I was a tad mad with my A1C, I'm happy it was under 7 but for all of the praise I just received I thought it would be a bit lower.  For the past few hours I have been very angry, as I write I have become more accepting of my A1C, this has been my first opportunity to really reflect on everything the doctor said.  I think that I need to stop worrying so much about just my A1C.  For the past five years that number has been my only focus, I have had lower A1cs but my blood sugars were all over the place, 60 one minute and 230 the next.  I'm not sure if I'm in a better place now but having the lower standard deviation and a sub seven A1C seems to be a great thing.

Moving forward I will continue to try and get an A1C while also keeping a low standard deviation.  My diet will also change a bit, I need to be a little more consistent with my blood sugars around 10am and need to work on my blood sugars after dinner and before bed.  As always diabetes will always have a challenge for me and I will always fight like hell.  Also, it is amazing how much better I feel after writing this evening.  It is a lot better to write out my worries or angers than hold them in and be mad!!  Thanks for the help reader of my blog!! You're the best!!!
