New Year gift

I picked up the mail today and opened a letter from my wonderful endo (Dr. Elizabeth Spatola of St. Joseph's in Nashua NH).

Inside it was the latest A1C test and (....drumroll....) my A1c is 6.6%

For me this is the lowest value I've ever had, and I'm more thankful than I can say.

In 2009, I'd like to keep my A1C at around 6.6% for the year. I'm grateful that I can use technology (insulin pump, Dexcom CGM) and rely on many people at TuDiabetes and the entire Diabetes OC (online community) for support and advice. Without all my friends in the d-blogosphere, I think living with diabetes would be a lot harder.

In 2009 may your blood sugars be steady and your diabetes frustrations be few.

For all of us I hope to see some exciting diabetes research development in the next 12 months.
