mztialady 38 Posted September 15, 2012 At the end of June I was devastated that my A1C number was 10.6. It stopped me from getting a surgery date. I really wanted to give up but didn't. I went high Protein low carb. Guess what? Today my A1C is 7.5. I will be having surgery October 1 st! I did it. Thanks for all the encouragement. You guys rock. 4 lauriehicks, IsaacsGram, enigmachik and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Most surgeons won't do surgery if it's too high. The risk of complications is higher and healing may be impaired. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
