[QUOTE="NicoleC1971, post: 2278503, member: 365308"] I don't know anyone at 100% and I am certainly not! Your consultant will be delighted if you remain under 7% but the True Grit (very low carb) types following Dr Richard Bernstein believe that all type ones have a right to 'normal for humans' control e.g. hba1c under 5%. The reason for the sweet spot being 7% is that in studies, the most risk of complications was seen at levels above this however this doesn't mean that levels below but still not normal won't have some risk. However those advocating the very low carb approach (30g per day for Bernstein followers) is that they believe that this is the only way to avoid roller coaster blood sugars as well as the only way to get a lower blood sugar overall. I am going to recommend a book that is written by a type one and highly practical and is based on what he would have wanted to know when first diagnosed: Adam Brown's Bright Spots and Landmines [MEDIA=youtube]sUz8MZPZgQE[/MEDIA] It isn't the only book of its type but it is free or you can listen on Audible via Amazon!
