my dad's was not that bad, mine is far more aggressive, but still not as bad, (Or how far it has progressed)

Now Type 1 or on insulin, test yourself more often.

My aunt, may she rest in peace, ate cake, candies and all that, but stopped 48 hours before her scheduled finger pricks. So she kept having a lot of spikes, and the neuropathy was bad. Her A1C was not stellar, but her log book was.

That is what I mean by cheating.
