[QUOTE="Lupf, post: 2264811, member: 518059"] Congrats and well done on getting your HbA1c down from 105 to 44 in three months. It took me five years. And it looks like you've lost weight, too. As we keep saying, we cannot give you specific advice, each individual is different. However let me point out that at your age your overall risk is actually quite low. While these new results show a higher average risk for T1 than for T2, nobody under 50 who died had T1. The increases in risk factors for BMI below 20 and HbA1c below 48 are small for T1 and not statistically significant, so there is no point to fret about. The main factor is age and we can't do anything about it, but you can relax. Keeping T1 under control seems also sensible. There are other people on this forum which can help you with T1 specific questions, but from me it is again, congratulations and best wishes. [/QUOTE]
