[QUOTE="DavidGrahamJones, post: 1801886, member: 245335"] Would I be right in thinking that their opinion is based on just an HbA1c? I'm interested because my father is type II on insulin and always gets a pat on the back from the GP/DN. When you look at his well kept written records he's not recording hypers and from speaking to him he's also having what I call hypo close calls (I think he might use hypos as an excuse to eat chocolate). So, basically his overall control is poor, but his medical team seem to just go by the HbA1c. At 91, I'm amazed he's got this far, but I'll not be able to change the chocolate habit and at 91 I probably don't want to. [/QUOTE]
