I think they like at least 70% TIR. I have my TIR range set at 3.6 to 8.9 and I stay 98%-100% TIR. I achieve 100% all the time. what I aim for and is hard for me is 14 days in a row at 100%. There is always one day that screws it up!! Most diabetics do not get close to that high of a TIR percent and they really don't need to.
Honestly most people do not achieve that goal, and for most you just don't need to achieve that high of a percent. I think you are doing great at being at 70% TIR. Experience really helps to know how to control your BG level.
I do not low carb, but I do have a Dexcom CGM, an Omnipod pump and I prebolus.
PS, I'm also retired now and that has helped a lot as at my workplace I could never count on if I would have lunch or when or if I would get to finish it. So I could not prebolus for my major meal of the day as I also worked late.
