Message: <blockquote data-quote="Dudette1" data-source="post: 2564012" data-attributes="member: 506427">Complications happen when blood sugars are constantly high, not now and again. My consultant told me blood sugars above 13 constantly over years not days or months is what causes complications.I read that even if you keep bloods in the normal range you can still get heart disease and other complications, so when I read on here people go into panic mode because their bloods are 7.9 I just ignore it, whereas when I was diagnosed I was panicking.And Just because he was a footballer doesn’t mean he kept good control, yes they are fit yes they run around but it’s not to say he didn’t drink beer, eat rubbish and not keep control.I’m told between 6-10 are good numbers to aim for and I’m sticking with it.I found myself more stressed staying under 7.8I’m sure the research over the years Has learnt them a lot and I put my trust in them.But do what you feel is right and makes you happy.</blockquote>
