@BrattyMel My mom went on pump and loved it.. my sister is also diabetic, and recently went on pump too. I think overall it is better most say, than needles...

@Coralmist pump , yeah ok
BrattyMel · 31-35, F
@Coralmist I have a pump but I hated it.
Coralmist · 41-45, F
5.7 .. yours? Are you diabetic?
SW-User
@Coralmist lucky you where I live one point above 100 is considered pre diabetic and that's why I didn't get my yearly blood test yet
Coralmist · 41-45, F
@SW-User No, that is not true. It's wrong, b/c regular sugar levels CAN go up to 120. Now it's OVER that, you're getting into diabetes territory. But no, my sister has seen VERY good diabetes docs, for 20 years, in Boston- it is not that if your sugar is over 100 at all, you are pre diabetic. That I do know...
SW-User
@Coralmist if your sis has seen good doctors specializing in blood sugar levels than that's reassuring
SW-User
Is that a good number to your doctor ? @Fernie

@Spoiledbrat the Victoza lowered sugars but also took away appetite. lost 12 lbs since my last visit
That’s good then. Be careful. :)@dentope3
Mine is high. 😫 I’d rather not say what my level is. Yes I’m a diabetic. 👎🏽

@MsAnnThropy work on getting it down. I've seen the damage it does as you get older
SW-User
You need to exercise @MsAnnThropy
I don’t have diabetes.

A1C It’s your glucose level over a period of time.@workathome

Ask me Monday
It’s down to 6.2 again. It was higher before.
@SW-User okay. But 5.4 is normal range. 5.7 to 6.4 is prediabetic. I’ve taken so many classes about it in the last two years.
SW-User
5.4 is too close to 5.7 plus that was 2 yrs ago and I was skinnier 😑@bijouxbroussard
@SW-User I see.
