[Diabetes-Talk] re question on a good accessible ap for tracking exercises like walking on treadmill, bicycling and that sort of stuff

[Bridgit Kuenning-Pollpeter]

I think the normal range for non-diabetics is under 5 or 4. The goal is
always 6 for diabetics, but realistically, and based on individual concerns
and needs, between 6 and 7 is deemed good. It's often different depending if
type 1 or 2 as well. Usually type 2's can achieve lower A1-Cs than type 1s.
If I go below 6.5, it means I'm running low all the time, so my doctor
prefers I don't go below 6.5, but I'm type 1 and sensitive to insulin.

Exercise definitely can help. Good luck with your goals. It can be
frustrating at first, but stick with things, and I'm sure you will see a
difference in 3 months.

Sure, I will look forward to those recommendations.  I am using  the latest
ipad air so it would be very helpful.   I was challanged by my endo to get
my A1c to the normal levels between 5.7 and 6.4 and so  I have decided to
take him on this challenge. The time frame is for 3 months when I  se him
next . right now my a1c is 7.4 but I would like to  get into that magical
normal range for normal people who are not diabetic.
