Hi,
2.5 weeks into my new life as a T1d libre user. Wow, what a game changer!
45 years T1d BTW.
Estimated A1c is 6.0; historically I was always mid to high 6’s. It has enabled me to make a big improvement to BG levels. I just wish I could have had it 4 years ago or whenever it came out.
I’ve just had my telephone consultation with the specialist. She was telling me about time in target values, where guidelines are min 70% within 3.9-10 and no more than 5% at less than 3.9. Well, I have 83% for the 3.9-10 range which is decent, but she was very concerned about my 9% time in the less than 3.9 range. I tried to explain that sometimes if I am 3.7 and it is not falling then I am not desperate to act, she did not seem to agree. So, I am wondering what other people’s thoughts are on the less than 5% time in the below 3.9 range, especially if you’re hovering in the 3.6-3.8 range?
