For the past year or so I have been trying to get my a1c down into baby range. At this point I have decided that it is time to bite the bullet and let nature take its course. I am getting older and into a whole other risk bracket with my age (35) although I know it is a really scary thing to be out of the recommended 6.5 a1c range there comes a time where you need to do what you gotta do, and my husband and I feel we are ready regardless and no matter what happens we will take it day by day.
