[QUOTE="Marie 2, post: 2529130, member: 475037"] [USER=557245]@david4503[/USER] I had a c-peptide test years ago and I don't make any insulin of my own. I've been a type 1 for 19 years. Retirement, prebolusing timing, exercise, cgm and a pump have all played a part in that control. I sugar surf! I respond pretty quickly because of my CGM to trending lower or higher BG levels. And sure I can trend higher or lower, but my alerts are set pretty tight so I usually catch it before I leave my parameters. My alerts are set at 4.4 and 7.2 (80 and 130) I don't like to see numbers out of that range, although it depends on the circumstance how I react to it. And yes, I have better control than most type 1's. Before retirement even with a cgm and pump I don't believe I could have had such good control. I didn't want to mess with tech at work, but looking back I should have. But I still did pretty good as I stayed with about a 44-46 (6.2-6.4) A1c. [/QUOTE]
