[QUOTE="alaska, post: 344716, member: 14213"] I can totally understand your frustration. My understanding is that this 'safe' limit comes from research studies that were featured strongly within health news. If I had more time I'd locate the study and stories that resulted. Others on the forum will probably be aware of which study I'm referring to. If I remember right, the study focused on more elderly people with diabetes and the study showed that aggressive treatment of diabetes to lower HbA1c levels below 7% (including involving insulin to lower blood glucose levels) showed higher mortality rates for HbA1c values lower than 7%. If my memory serves correct, this does not address your situation so well as we're talking about use of metformin rather than insulin. As you may know, the actions of insulin injections and metformin are significantly different. Hope this gives you a start. Ed [/QUOTE]
