Message: <blockquote data-quote="Nicola M" data-source="post: 2564237" data-attributes="member: 81557">My last HbA1c was 43 and I was in range for roughly 70% of the time according to my CGM. I am now in range roughly 75%-80% of the time so my HbA1c could be lower than that now or the same or higher. My consultant told me to aim to be in range for 70% of the time as this is more realistic. If you get more than that in range then great but if not don't stress about it. Diabetes is weird in the sense that no two days are ever the same, and doing the same thing every day can lead to different results. Just because you have good control does not mean you are immune from complications, I have what would be considered good control and yet here I am with retinopathy although no treatment is required for me yet, I go for 3 monthly checkups, and its still as present as ever.</blockquote>
