All the numbers on the squiggly blue line are Samuel's A1c's since diagnosis 6 years ago - our journey. The vertical lines are major milestones on our journey. Some were better moves than others - but we learned from them all. I don't compare Samuel to any other T1 - his journey is his unique story.
One thing to keep in mind about diabetes is that having diabetes doesn't by default mean you'll have complications. High BG and sharp high/low swings are the cause of damage. When your pancreas stops working a memo ISN"T sent to the rest of the body telling it start slowly failing. Your body doesn't know if BG is being maintained by the pancreas or insulin injected via a syringe.
Being a human pancreas isn't easy. But I can't think of anything more important for my sons long term health than keeping his BG as close to a non-diabetics as I can.
