[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 1420308, member: 94045"] Stability. The smaller the variances the better. It is the swings up and down that cause the problems. I would be happier with a slightly higher base line (fasting and before meals etc) than low base line and more swings up and down. It is only through wearing a Libre sensor that I have come to see this in my own levels. The graphs show it all. The HbA1c is just an average and we all know averages mean very little. Someone with a low base line, including overnight, will have a lot of lows counted in that average, whereas the highs are restricted to a relatively short period post meals - but these highs are the damaging factors, and the ones that make you feel rough.
