[QUOTE="Tophat1900, post: 2227694, member: 362123"] The problem as I see it, is there is no context for 66% achieving a hba1c of 7.5% I'm guessing this is a post diagnosis number, but how long after? This doesn't seem to indicate how that number was achieved. Is it by drug therapy? And that's a whole another discussion in itself. Someone can point it out if I missed all of that. IMO - 7.5 is hardly a success story, but it could be much worse of course. 6.5% is the cut point for whether you are diabetic of not in t2. It is an interesting read. But stats are stats, and individual care varies greatly. Given that, I have little faith in stat based articles where numbers are the focus and somehow everyone either fits into a stat check box or doesn't. Social stigmas on these two conditions are easily forged in this manner. [/QUOTE]
