[QUOTE="ebony321, post: 203343, member: 17199"] [b]Re: A comparison of the guidelines for control; NICE, ADA, e[/b] Good question really from Cugila. Personally i think it's not a good idea to 'set a wide net' to allow people who don't do anything to control their diabetes fit into whats recommended, i think it will hinder those who do not understand that and won't aim for tight control because they already fit into that pretty wide net. I think it's good to set a good target, obviously a reachable one, but one that if you are in that target then you are in good odds of leading the longest and healthiest life possible. Setting a target just so people can reach it is no good in my eyes, it's not going to do some people any favours in the long run. Ideally my goals are to keep between 5-7mmol. I would like my HBA1c to be in the 6's.. preferably the higher end. i hit my targets of 5-7 currently about 60-70% of the time. Sometimes i sit in the high 4's which is okay but i prefer to be at least 5mmol. Sometimes i go up to 7.5 and that's okay too. but my targets set on my glucose meter with my pump is between 5-7 so my pump will calculate insulin doses needed to bring me smack bang in the middle which is obviously 6:) My hba1c at the min is 7.2% this is the lowest its ever been, and i know it is lower because i had a fair few few hypos in the beggining of starting my pump. i'm due another over the next week or so. Im hoping it's either the same or slightly lower as my BG's are now more even, hardly swings anymore. In football, how boring would the game be if the net stretched 20 feet high and as wide as the pitch, everyone would be able to score a goal. Therefore everyone could be a professional footballer. the game would be naff and nobody would watch it anymore and football stadiums would be empty and tickets wouldnt be sold. the net's in football aren't set to the size of a window either. Because nobody would score, apart from the super super super talented ones. people would give up with football and not want to play anymore. The net is set at a reasonable size so it takes skill, practice and effort. But most people when they try can score a goal can't they? thats the way i see it :) [/QUOTE]
