[QUOTE="Jaylee, post: 2227540, member: 101136"] Yep, appreciated. The closest to a normal A1c (if not bang on.) the better.. :) Speaking souly as a T1 the ideal target up untill (aprox.) 2015? Was 7.5% after some dodgy numbers in my teens & 20s I pulled my self inline & even achieved lower. I was getting 6to .5 on annual reviews & choused at by DSNs exclaiming I must be suffering from "too many hypos." & hand wringing that my "awareness must be going.." Not at all. & I was having no more hypo events than usual.. Sooo, with my focus at the time on preserving my privelidge to drive, thus staying in gainful employment. I let it slip & was tested at the 7.5% mark..? ....... Until about 5 years back. Then they lowered the T1 pedestal for the "pat on the head." "Keep doing what you do." Award. :banghead: In short, I'm a little bemused at where the author of the article got the figures from..? "7.5%" for T1s was an old rule of thumb going back 5 years. Then in 2018 GDPR was implemented? The data protection act was certainly put into practice in the months if not a year leading up to the date. I would suggest not "fundamentally different" But possibly individual.. Lol, wherever the numbers came from, these sensors have made a difference. (I fund my own.) I just wish my endo didn't keep postponing my appointment so I can finally get it on script. ;) [/QUOTE]
