He got the results today. My mom sent him home with a dexcom, glucose meter and
Insulin.
My mom’s a1c is less than 5.5% as a T1D. She’s going to keep a very close eye on him until he can get into an endocrinologist.
The insulin worried me a bit but he’ll only take it at her instructions and no sooner than 5 hours before bed.
