We measure our diabetic patients' blood sugar using an average estimate called the HbA1c. We like to see this number at around 6 or lower but I often see it much higher.
When I watch a patient's A1c drop it gets me excited. I often proclaim it to be a high five moment. It's a big deal for the patient to make the changes that are needed for them to have their sugars under control.
It's particularly great when my patient is in their nineties and I'm making them give me a high five.
Well. Great for me anyway.
