[QUOTE="buckmr2, post: 1289345, member: 39701"] Haven't had time to read the thread throughly but I saw my diabetologist last week and he sat next with a diabetic nurse from Australia I think and she ne told to keep my blood sugars higher than the last 40 years. Before it was between 4-7 now I'm being told that as I approach 49 to keep it higher around 7-8 When you're younger you need to keep it lower to avoid vein/kidney/eye etc damage bit when you get my age protecting the heart and grey matter takes priority meaning no sugars below 4. I've been a T1 on 6 injections a day since age of 4 and have no issues with kidneys,heart etc and my eyes are stable having had a lot of laser and injections but no treatment needed on them for a few years now. This is the first I've heard of having to keep blood sugars around 7 - 8 [/QUOTE]
