[QUOTE="iHs, post: 690891, member: 8799"] You and I live miles apart......but this 6.5% target hba1c is starting to be questioned by many consultants as they know that it doesnt come without some hypos and the tighter control is the more the hypos will come. We cant get a straw and suck back the insulin we dont want working for us after 3hrs. It goes on for 4 to 5hrs. Far better to aim for 6.8% and keep the awareness at 3.5mmol and not lower especially if driving. Roll on very fast acting insulin that finishes its action within 3hrs. Like DD, I too have been pulled up by consultant who for once wanted to look at my bg meter readings because of my hba1c being 6.5% and got a friendly but firm telling off. [/QUOTE]
