kwal79 99 Posted July 2, 2012 I was hospitalized in 2008 for emergency surgery. They checked my sugars only to find they were 455! I was on an insulin drip in icu for 5 days. The day of my bypass my A-1C was 13.5 ! At my 3 month check it was 8.5 At my 6 month check it was 4.8 That's normal non diabetic adult range! I was taken off all my diabetic meds including insulin. The surgery has done its job! For me that is. I'm going to see my primary at my one yr check up. If its still in this range I'm diabetes free! 5 KevinsBabyGirl85, EEsMom, TinyMamiOf3kids and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
