[QUOTE="EllieM, post: 2484691, member: 372717"] I think the data just isn't available yet. For a long time, doctors had to work with hba1cs, and they discovered that a T1 hba1c of 48 (or so) seemed to lead to better results for complications like eye disease etc. Very low hba1cs are frowned upon as they are often associated with hypo issues. Now we have cgms but they haven't been around long enough for the long term studies to exist, So the jury is still out. But remember the many T1s who were diagnosed 50 or more years ago didn't have glucometers for their first decade, so you can be pretty sure we were spiking like mad then. [/QUOTE]
