Message: <blockquote data-quote="hanadr" data-source="post: 71399" data-attributes="member: 8110">BG of 7 - 9 is on the high side, but it's what the medics usually say.Being cold blooded about it though, your mother is older and generally complications take years or even decades to develop. So your Mum's age is protecting her to some extent.In addition, should she have a hypo and fall, she could be very badly hurt.  There has to be a balance of risks. Is your Mum still sufficiently flexible mentally to cope with very major changes in her lifestyle?( I know my Mum wouldn't consider making any big changes to the way she's always done things.) Perhaps the medics have decided that 7 - 9 is something she can handle. Is there a chance you could talk it through with your Mum and possibly even attend a clinic with her, if that wouldn't offend her and would put your mind at rest.</blockquote>
