I want a better A1C

In two months Arden will have diabetes for five years. Today, for the first time I’m finding myself very vested in seeing an A1C decrease at our visit. I think that I may take it very personally if we don’t. Ninety minutes from now we’ll enter the exam room for the (I’m guessing) twentieth time and I don’t think (with the exception of one time) I’ve ever felt this anxious before an appointment. I don’t like feeling like this.

I just really want this to go well...

EDIT

We’re back from the endo and since I don’t want to bury the lead... A1C was terrific!

Here’s a little background. For the past two years Arden’s A1C is always in range and it fluctuates only a tiny bit. At her last appointment it jumped almost a full point but three months later it was back to the lowest that it’s ever been!!!

I think I know why too but you’ll have to wait until I get a chance to write about it to find out. Thank you so much for all the well wishes here, on Twitter and FaceBook, you guys rock!

Good luck and I totally understand the taking it personally comment.  When you feel like you  have worked so hard to get a better A1c you want your hard work to show through!  Keep us posted on how it went.
