[QUOTE="jopar, post: 203446, member: 11712"] [b]Re: A comparison of the guidelines for control; NICE, ADA, e[/b] A guideline is what it says it is, a guide a set of figures that suggest minimum stardards of achievement, it provides a target range which prevents complications, but don't forget a hypos, hypo unawareness is also a complication and can not only impact on your quaility of life daily and long term, can cause a swifter death than complications of high blood glucose! so this side of the marker needs the same serious consideration as the high's... There are other factors that at an individual level you have to pitch into control more so for insulin users and those taking oral drugs that increase insulin production, such as when it comes to retaining your driving licence other activities where having a hypo increases phsyical danger to yourself or others... But what often seems to be forgotten is that doesn't really matter what the guidelines does or doesn't say it's all about individual choices... which as far as I can see having a choice about what managment Strategy one wants to take seems to have gone out the window!
