      Marcus Aurelius Meditations for the benefits of stoicism. Dante’s Inferno for the nine levels of diabetic hell. Kristen Lavransdatter for the benefits of suffering. And best of all, Cervantes Don Quixote for the absurdity of tilting at so many worthless windmills of frenzied diabetic activity.

      TCOYD, as they are Doctors living with T1D. Their video's are informative and funny, I like T1D to 100, and Joanne Milo, as she too lives with T1D and understands what aging with T1D is like, and Tom from Type One Talks, as his video's are entertaining and informative.

      I am going to be general rather than specific (to protect the innocent 😏 ). I enjoy the researchers and the individuals living and making a good life of T1D. I loathe following what insurance companies, private equity, investment bankers, credit default swappers, derivative managers, mergers & acquisition operatives are doing (legally, and encouraged by) to the American health care system.

      5.4 I believe my activity level and exercise level helps. I enjoy walking, hiking, biking. I also take cycle classes and strength classes at the Y. Idid not do well but I participated in the discus at the Ohio senior games.

      6.3 with too many lows!

      My recent 7.1 reading was greatly welcomed by my endocrinologist since it suggests that my ongoing problem of too many lows, indicated by being in the 6 range for a number of years is being taken care of.

      Last two were 6.2 and 6.1 where it’s consistently been for the past two years except for one last Summer when my A1c was 5.8.

      The definitional bell-shaped curve, although with a slight upward bias. I wonder if this correlates with age, as many older people are encouraged to achieve higher, rather than lower, numbers? ▼

      Mine is typically around 7-7.5.
      It’s only in the 5s right now because I’m pregnant.

      I don’t feel my A1C is very accurate. I suspect it reads lower because my bloods cell size has changed over time (low iron) but I can’t find a doctor that confirms it
