[QUOTE="Sid Bonkers, post: 141364, member: 19121"] Hi Sue, I had an hb a1c of 5.1% when I was on insulin and was told the same thing, I think you will find that the T2 NICE recommendations are mainly for non insulin treated diabetes as T1's and T2's on insulin need to maintain slightly higher numbers to help prevent going hypo. I reduced my insulin slightly and kept an average of .5 to .7 higher and to be honest found I was more relaxed knowing I was slightly higher. There is also the possibility of becoming hypo unaware after running too low a level for any length of time, a situation you don't want to find your self in :D Hope this helps Congratulations on your numbers BTW [/QUOTE]
