As a person with numerous complications due to diabetes , I understand people’s dilemma , but it’s all about achievable goals.Living with diabetes is hard enough without the pressure of maybe somewhat unrealistic achievements , yes it is possible to keep bs between 5 and 7 personally for me to do that it would mean I’d be doing. Nothing else than looking at my results and testing , fortunately I have a life and it’s not all about diabetes. My issues came as a result of YEARS AND YEARS AND YEARS , of, of HbA1c being in the 100 + range . Now I try to keep my bs between 5-10 , doesn’t happen all the time and I don’t worry if it goes a bit higher for short periods , I’m never stressed about my bs I just deal with it cause let’s face it I’m the only one who can do anything about it . if my time in range is above 60 % I’m happy . I’ve been told professionally that I’m doing really well , was also told I’m far better looking in person than on paper so that’s a bonus , will say I must look absolutely minging on paper then hehehe
