After my endocrinology appointment and subsequent A1C test last week, I started thinking about how my A1C results have often reflected the different milestones in my life. (For the record, I see any A1C over 6 as a fail. I don't want to be a "normal diabetic." I want to be a "normal person." Or, when possible, better than a normal person--Super Human.)
