Wow, that's exactly my plan, I have other autoimmune diseases so on steroids and thyroid meds which all impact, managing to stay in target 90+% most if the time but only by eating really low carb 20 to 30gcho per day. I've got a to watch to run the alarms through, so grateful for your help, I think if I got an A1C of 28 my consultant would faint
Lol, yeah, they freak out a bit with low numbers, but that's because they are used to just seeing the a1c number for patients using strips.
I'm lucky enough to live in NHS Lothian which has a really liberal libre scripting policy - if you're T1 here and want libre, you'll get it.
Because of that, the docs here have been seeing across the board drops in a1c, and they now know it's not because of lots of hypos, it's because of not running above 9 or 10 too often.
At my last 6 month checkup, the doc asked about the 28, I ran the numbers from xdrip past her, she was perfectly ok with it.
I had a yearly checkup with my GP too and she amusingly said, hmm, maybe 30 is the new 40!
It's a brave new world, Suzy, the docs are getting on side with it, but many of them haven't even heard of blinging libre or xdrip etc, but they do seem to be willing to listen.
