thisiscaleb.wordpress.com Caleb has Type 1 diabetes. He uses the omnipod insulin management system. Many people with Type 1 visit their endo every three months. Because we are able to keep excellent control over Caleb’s bgs and quarterly endo visits yield small other than an A1C check, Caleb goes semi-annually, with A1C checks done locally in between. The day we were plotting to visit the lab for a blood draw, I happened across a home A1C kit. It seemed like fate. So later, Caleb and I were home, performing the test, rather than in the lab. With a1cs performed twice a year in the endo office and once a year in conjunction with his annual blood work, this seems like a reasonable option for a once a year check to help minimize a small of the discomfort and burden that managing type 1 diabetes requires.
