[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 1381030, member: 94045"] Those numbers are extremely good and nothing to be worried about at all. NICE recommend under 8.5 at all times for Type 2s, but many of us think that is too generous and that an absolute maximum target should be under 7.8, but less if you can. We tend to set our own targets, and it isn't good practice to compare yourself with others. Our metabolisms are all different, many are on medication to help, others are very strict with carbs which doesn't suit us all. My personal target is 4 to 7 and most of the time I manage it, but I am a lot further down the line than you (3 years now) I am quite content to be in the low to mid 6s up to 2 and a half hours or thereabouts. Just set your own targets and be happy when you beat them. The more fat you eat, the lower your peak will be but the longer it will take to return to where you started. It will be a gentle rise and gentle fall rather than sharp. This is better for you. [/QUOTE]
