If a diabetic has his sugar levels under control, that the Hba1c level is normal, then does this mean that there will be no complications in the long run?

This comes from a fellow diabetic and an RN, you are doing a great job, keep it up. You are also doing the best you can to avoid the complications down the road that we all fear. Unfortunately we know this disease, the only thing we can do is fight it the best way we can. That is by diet, exercise and whatever medication regimen we are under. Last night I was at a art show. The place was full of goodies. Another diabetic I know was there, Tom was having a difficult time walking because he couldn't feel his feet. He was also chowing down on cheese cake and chocolate mints. That alone gave me the power to stick to ice water. You have got to hang tough, do what you have to do to mantain your health. It could be years before the miracle cure come through (if ever) and we need to be in the best shape possible to take advantage of it when it comes out of the lab. That will mean keeping our numbers low!

I am writing to tell you what an incredible impact these methods had on my life! I have had type 2 diabetes for 27 years. For me, the worst part of this horrible disease is the severe pain I constantly get in my feet. The pain is so bad that I avoid standing and walking as much as possible. I've got to tell you that within the first month, my feet stopped hurting altogether and I can now walk totally pain free.
Believe it or not, I even danced at my niece's wedding last month, something I have not done in a many years. I've been following the book for six months now and my blood sugar is well within normal range. I feel great!
I recommend you use the Type 2 Diabetes Destroyer to naturally reverse your diabetes.

No it does not mean no comps in the long run but keeping your Hbac1c (average blood glucose level for the last 3-4 months) GREATLY reduces the chances of complications. I read that for every quarter of a point over 7 we increase our risk of complications by 40%!!!!!!
Coming from a family of diabetics and being one myself, I can tell you the best thing a diabetic can do to avoid worst case scenarios is to exercise. It does wonders for us. Our muscles absorb glucose so that means less insulin and also improves our circulation which gives more oxygen to our organs, thus helping to keep them healthy.
Not to scare anyone out there, but out of all the diabetics I know that have had the disease over 20 years, only 2 are alive. The others died with no legs, eyesight,, and/or kidney function.
The 2 that are alive have no major complications because they kept their blood sugar levels normal and they are the only 2 that exercise on a regular basis.
When I was first diagnosed I was able to eat a meal and work out for about 30 minutes and reduce my bs to 100- I did that for 6 months and was able to avoid insulin but my morning glucose was too high so I went on insulin to reduce that and now have the choice to have a meal and take insulin: or just do a workout tape or long bike ride to bring my blood sugar down. Cool.
Get your heart going, clear out the arteries, lift some weights even small ones. Baby steps. Dance, swim. jog. walk.
I started and still do Richard Simmons and Denise Austin. I call it SAVING MY OWN LIFE!!!!!!!
Good luck to you.

Control reduces risk and if you are around 7 that's great non diabetic norm is 6 so sounds like 5 would mean low for diabetic also your endro can give you the latest information on your personal risk.

No, but you will slow or lessen the side affects of diabetes. My H1c is 9.0 and I can't feel anything from my ankles down. Very dangerous. So be serious about diabetes. I wasn't

Complications are caused by high blood sugars.If you keep your sugar under control then you will lead a normal healthy life.A hgAic is a 3 month measurement of the average of your blood sugars.
