My AC1 went from 6.9 to 6.3 in 3 month. I walk for 50 minutes everyday, and I do 5,000 steps a day to keep my AC1 down. It works. ]]> https://peer-support.chroniclediabetes.com/forums/topic/key-questions-you-can-bring-to-your-next-appointment/#post-1733 <![CDATA[Reply To: How to communicate with your health care team about type 2 diabetes.]]> https://peer-support.chroniclediabetes.com/forums/topic/key-questions-you-can-bring-to-your-next-appointment/#post-1733 Tue, 14 Apr 2026 13:51:42 +0000 Vera Bartasavich This is an excellent guide and a great review for many!

I was having problems with the “bitly” url. If someone else has that barrier copy from Dan’s post, “Your Rights and Care Standards: A Guide for People with Type 2 Diabetes” and it will come up.

Great work. Any details on what really helped the most or is it a combination of lifestyle changes? ]]> https://peer-support.chroniclediabetes.com/forums/topic/drop-a1c/#post-1712 <![CDATA[Reply To: Drop A1C]]> https://peer-support.chroniclediabetes.com/forums/topic/drop-a1c/#post-1712 Tue, 24 Mar 2026 16:43:06 +0000 Vera Bartasavich Great job! Definitely keeps you motivated when A1C drops significantly.  Can you provide details of what you actually did over the six months. Eating, physical activity/exercise usually helps, but anything that may not be so obvious?

For me, it is important to come prepared with questions for my PCP. Fortunately, my PCP is good about answering all of my questions during my appointments and being very responsive in the patient portal. ]]>
