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.

Maybe I should already know or take the time to look it up but what is A1C. Oops. Never mind. Found it - diabetes stuff right?

Yep. Most surgeons won't do surgery if it's too high. The risk of complications is higher and healing may be impaired.
