[QUOTE="phoenix, post: 691591, member: 12578"] The Christiansen study was just for 4 days, only 2 in normal 'daily life' It had fairly young subjects. Average age 27., the research from it's date and the description and pictures of the CGM used probably also used one of the earlier models. The [URL='http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2892065/?report=reader']ADAG [/URL]study had far more participants (80) with an average age of 41 and a wider variety of ethnic groups. It took place at least a couple of years later so presumably used later CGM models (might be relevant they have gradually got better) It used CGMS for 48 hours at a time, repeating the monitoring on at least three occasions over a period of time with a median usage of 9.5 days . During continuous monitoring all the subjects went above 6.1mmol/l. The median time above 6.1mmol/l was 395 min; 99% of the people went above 7mmol/l for a median time of 109 min. There was though a big variation in time above each level . The range for the middle 50% of subjects (IQR) was 273-688 minutes of the day spent above 6.1mmol/l. ( ie non diabetics, in this study spent anything from 4.5 hours to 11.6 hours above this level) Most of the subjects (99%) spent longer above 7mmol/l than Christiansen's subjects spent between 6.6 and 7.7 As I'm 20 years older than the average in the ADAG study, that seems to have more relevance to me than a group of much younger subjects Re driving , I've just noticed that the French equivalent of DUK now states you shouldn't take the wheel at less than 1g/l which is 5.5mmol/l.
