This week I had the pleasure of receiving an e-mail from one of my Wellness Coaching clients who reported that she had just left her Primary Care Physician's (PCP) office and found out that her A1c level had dropped from ~ 7.0 to 6.3%. She was so excited with the results that she immediately texted me with the great new. Now for those of you who have diabetes you know that an A1c of 6.3 is great.
