[QUOTE="tim2000s, post: 706347, member: 30007"] This is, to be frank, a pile of absolute BS. If you are able to use a CGM/libre like device and manage glucose levels accordingly, there is no reason at all why you are definitely spending more time in a Hypo. It simply isn't a valid point for all T1s. What the likes of CGMs (and pumps) enable is that you can reduce the standard deviation of your blood testing and glucose levels (which works both up and down), and doing this reduces your Hba1C. If you take that away then god-only knows what other consultants are believing. You can be a well controlled, limited hypo T1 with an Hba1C in the 5.7%-6.2% range without too much effort. Damnable HCPs who don't move with technology. :mad::mad::mad: [/QUOTE]
