Blood Glucose

Just been sent an email re blood glucose top tips. One of the forums is called 5%. I just want to say that yes we all should be aiming for this but for some people it is nigh on impossible to achieve this. I have just got mine down from 9.1 to 8.1 which to me personally is a great achievement. My problem is that I have been diabectic now for 39 years and have just been told that I need to go onto meformin as well as my 5 injections a day. Apparently I have become insulin resistant. Anyway I went on a DAFNE course last year and I was amazed how those people who have recently been diagnosed are treated far better than us old timers. Apparently my equipment was out of date. I was using something which I hated using and really shouldn't have been using. Anyway well done to those that can achieve 5% I personally won't ever achieve this but I will keep on trying to go downwards instead of up and to all of you keep on smiling. I am hoping to get to 50 years now.
