New blood work: A1c is . . .

My new A1c is 6.5, one-tenth higher than the previous. Just one-tenth; still I'm unhappy - probably because I gave up Coca-Cola about six weeks ago. Maybe that's not enough time for the benefit of reducing sugar to show up.

I don't think the surgeon will have a problem with the higher number. Cross your fingers. I'll find out in a few days. Surgery's on the 23rd.

Fighting the A1c is tough and can be frustrating. Giving up Coke was a major step! My blood sugar goes up when I am in pain or anxious so sometimes it isn't what you ate. Hope your recovery from surgery goes well. Fingers 🤞
