[QUOTE="Biggles2, post: 1578975, member: 406880"] The following is from a [I]Together 2 Goal[/I]/[I]Diatribe[/I] presentation from June 2017. Take a look at slide number 33 which describes the 'fallacy of average' nicely: “If I stand with one foot in a bucket of ice water, and one foot in a bucket of boiling water, on average I am comfortable” Slide number 37 looks at how important time-in-range is for all with DM: “A Big Impact” on Daily Life, Rank Order: Many differences, but time-in-range is #1 for all And slide number 41: “The Many Faces of a 7% A1c – One Traditional Metric Cannot Tell the Full Story Anymore” Which shows how 3 HbA1c results of 7.0% (53), tell 3 very different stories.
