[QUOTE="Deleted Account, post: 1882397"] Interestingly, I have just read an article on "blood control for older adults with diabetes" ([URL]https://www.health.harvard.edu/blog/is-tight-blood-sugar-control-right-for-older-adults-with-diabetes-2018091714772[/URL]). I think this general gist is "it depends". If the person is generally fit, there is no reason not to maintain good control. However, given the reason for low numbers is to reduce risk of complications in later life, as people with diabetes age, this risk becomes less important and the concern is more around hypos.
