[QUOTE="SamJB, post: 520309, member: 45322"] James, if you read my post you'd notice that it was a warning against losing hypo awareness. It isn't dangerous to have abnormal sugar levels. As mentioned in my original post, an HbA1c of around 6.5% means your risk of complications is at unity with the non diabetic population. With an Hba1c of 6.5%, your BGs [I]are[/I] abnormal, compared to a non diabetic. It's dangerous to have an HbA1c higher than around 6.5%. Many people report a loss of hypo symptoms when they run their BGs in the 4s for an extended period, which is what you will need to do to achieve an HbA1c so low. You are free to flippantly ignore this advice, but to assert that it isn't dangerous to potentially lose your hypo awareness, is incorrect. [/QUOTE]
