Guest, we'd love to know what you think about the forum! Take the Diabetes Forum Survey 2025 »

Message: <blockquote data-quote="tim2000s" data-source="post: 691969" data-attributes="member: 30007">[USER=29301]@smidge[/USER], I think the issue is that there is a "perfect diabetic" level that consultants subscribe to, and this view has it that the characteristic of a diabetic is to have an Hba1c that is above a non-diabetic person. As you say,  they view it that if you are close to normal as a diabetic then you must be having hypos as (and remember this is  set in stone) diabetics are completely unable to control their blood sugar to that level of detail. Now I'm not arguing that this approach is correct but it does appear that in recent years,  many people have striven for better control as a result of the view on complications and the availability of better technology. We all know how long it takes to change the medical profession's collective mind.</blockquote>
