My son’s recent A1c was 6.8%, and his doctor was thrilled. However, then I hear other people saying this score is still too high, and we should be shooting for the low 6% range, which seems impossible to achieve without more hypos. Can I possibly be hearing about different scales or standards of measurement?

If my sugar is elevated during the night, I sometimes have aches in my legs, and I’ll wake up with a sugar level that’s slightly high. However, I don’t have cramps if I wake up with normal for me blood sugar. Could that make that much difference?

For three year prior to diagnosis, my son would throw up several times in a month. We had him through every test imaginable but nothing was found. Now that he’s been diagnosed and his blood sugars are level, he doesn’t throw up anymore, but his doctor doesn’t think the throwing up was caused by a slow onset of diabetes. What are your thoughts?
