...and it's like Christmas. 6.9% WOOOP WOOOP!!!! Now I know that's only just good enough for many of you, but I'm soo soo chuffed about this. I had poor control on injections, mostly due to a strong dawn phenomenon and doing lots of exercise on some days and not on others. Going on a pump 10 months ago has much such a difference!!! I was at 10%, then 8.4, then 7.4, and now 6.9.
 
Ergates I would be extatic with that so dont knock your self, you have done such a good job in lowering your hbA1c so well done.
 
well done!!! that's amazing! and like steff said, don't beat yourself up, you've got it down, it's within their guidelines so that's perfect :D celebrate!!
 
Fantastic, really chuffed for you! 🙂 Just goes to show the value of a pump isn't measured in ???s!
 
That is absolutely fantasticr:D. I've never managed 6.9 during 40 years of diabetes. You are a star!
 
6.9 is a fantastic result and I'm so pleased all your hard work is paying off and that the pump is working for you. You should be proud of yourself! 🙂 XXXXX

Utterly fab Ergates - my first one post pump was 6.5 - I cried!
 
Fantastic result 🙂 Very well done.
 
Thanks all! Celebrated with a stonking home made curry and an ice cream for pudding.

Of course a good part of the improvement isn't just due to the pump and the excellent sports specialist support I had, but also due to the knowledge and support of you guys here.
