Week 113, June 21st, 2010



And that was it! Trial is now over, the 2 years now elapsed. We cannot say right now if we are going to take part in the follow-up extension (3 more years, 2 controls a year), but I plan to keep posting the A1c and BG values as I have done it so far. Later on perhaps I'll summarize on our impressions, but all in all we have not sweated with diet, and we did yes all the needed corrections. We've been measuring BG more in this last stretch as we had some stubborn days. Some told me that they were growth spurs. Other than that, no changes from the previous posts. Thanks to all that followed the blog, you've been a most graceful public. Yet, keep watching the page, I'll be posting values every 3 months, and of course any other news of interest.

Figures:

BG 90 days average: 139.1 - A1c from BG: 6.6% - A1c from lab test: 6.7%
