[QUOTE="EllieM, post: 2689803, member: 372717"] Hi [USER=586814]@stukie[/USER] am guessing that they are very concerned about the possibility of an elderly person going hypo and having a fall..... Have they talked to her and/or her carers about hypoglycemia? (With a target of 15 they may reckon it may not happen). The consequences of too high blood sugar tend to be long term (years/decades) so may not be an issue for someone who is 87, whereas the consequences of a fall can be much more serious (ie hospital admission with broken limb). Having said that I personally feel a lot more physically comfortable with a bg of 5 rather than 15 but in my preglucomter high blood sugar youth I sort of got used to higher levels and didn't really notice them. Edited to add Is that target an upper level of 15 or an average of 15 ...? [/QUOTE]
