I don"t think there are any rules, I became T1 at the age of 54 and was slim and relatively fit . You are doing what you can to reduce the RISK. Your numbers look pretty good to me.

Sometimes when I go off track it will take a week or so to get my BS back down to where I like it. If you are pre disposed to Type 1 theres nothing you can do to stop it developing. Dont beat yourself up over it, keep testing and im sure your numbers will return to lower figures. By the sound of it you are doing everything right.
