[QUOTE="finsit, post: 2437049, member: 536821"] Average person hits 8 but stays very little there, that's the difference between a diabetic and us. If we hit an 8, it will take few hours for it to go back to close to 6 and what i understand is that its high fluctuations in BG or high BG that stays there for longer time that causes long-term complications. Secondly, who says that non-diabetic who are having high insulin/glucose have no complications, they still have heart disease, BP, dementia and other metabolic issues and definitely affects their longevity and health in old age. Also one thing to note that even if you are hitting 8 every day but stay there very little time, it wont affect your a1c. The blood sugar needs to be high for several hours to have any affect over a1c. [/QUOTE]
