[QUOTE="mattw, post: 1743747, member: 25679"] As I understand it (recent statement in a conversation with my diabetes Doc) another reason for thinking about sticking to 5-7/8 as a target range not 4-6/7 is that the latter can pose more of a risk to your permission to drive, in that a single hypo requiring 3rd party assistance may affect your license. Aiming for 5+ gives an extra buffer. "You may not make it to 30" sounds like the sort of thing that is sometimes said as a shock tactic to drive home the importance of good bg control. Matt [/QUOTE]
