[QUOTE="SamJB, post: 710117, member: 45322"] I think the DCCT trail in the 90s (10s of thousands of patients) found that the risk of complicatins reaches unity with the non-diabetic population at an HbA1c of around 6.5%. From personal experience, my retinopathy disappeared when my HbA1c went from the 7s to <6.5%, so I believe that to be true. I think that retinopathy scans are a good measure of your overall complication status as they are the only tissue that can be microanalysed regularly. I agree with Noblehead, any T1 that can get close to 6.5% is doing very well. [/QUOTE]
