Slightly Lower A1C

I got my results back from the fasting I took Tuesday.  Last time it was 7.2, this time 7.0.  It's a bit lower, but I was very surprised it wasn't lower still.  I am taking huge amounts of insulin, and I'm watching what I eat.  It's so agrivating!!  I'm really hoping this second trimester will be easier, they say it's supposed to be. 


My fasting that day was 114, which is actually pretty low for me.  The lowest I've seen it since I got pregnant is 97.  It's normally around 130-140.


My doctor says she wants my target a1c to be 6.  That's a whole point, so wish me luck!!  I'm starting to take more Lantus, 80 a day.  Whew.

I'm not sure when they will want the next a1c.

I would think that with it being higher that they would want you to have it checked more often, maybe even

I will have to ask my OB the next time I see him if he would like an A1C more often.
