Am I an Outlier in Diabetes Control?

My endo always says she’s impressed with my glucose control and that it’s rare. In 10 years I’ve never once had a seizure or passed out. Even though I feel I run on the higher side. Can anyone else relate? Or am I actually an outlier?

my endo says this too. i got diagnosed about 2.5 months ago and every meeting that we have, (we’ve actually had a lot) she always says how impressed she is with me.

It sounds like you’re probably in your “honey moon phase” if you’re only about 2-3 months since diagnosis. That means your pancreas is likely still producing a small amount of its own insulin. I definitely would not consider 140-155 running high.
