My diabetes has been much harder to look after during the last few months to the point of nearly making me want to give up with working so hard with it. But I’m glad that I persevered becauseHBA1C is 6.3/45. I hope that gives hope to other with diabetes and Gastroparesis.
I've now had gastroparesis for 10 years, it is often progressive, and I have been told that diabetics with it don't get usually have HBA1Cs below 8.5 so I'm really pleased that I keep getting HBA1C's in the 6's.

Libre said my HBA1C would be around 5.5!!!!

Congratulations on the great HbA1c Amanda. Yes Libre usually underestimates my A1c quite significantly too.
 
Thank you everyone. I certainly can’t take my eye off the ball managing the diabetes with the gastroparesis.
