My single biggest concern when I got my A1C re-checked was any organ damage. Given I was 10.8 back in mid-May, I probably was around 10.8 for a LONG time.

Amazingly, all my liver and kidney tests were normal.

And while I will never have 20-20 vision again, the eye strain I was having back in the early spring has completely gone away. (That might be due to the blood pressure)

So (knock on wood), I consider myself lucky.

When I read new stories of a famous person dying in their 50's or 60's from diabetes, I repeat to myself, "There is no bloody way in hell I'm going to let that happen to me".
