[QUOTE="hanadr, post: 47544, member: 8110"] Hi Milly mole they don't strive for good control in young people either. HbA1c of up to 7% is acceptable, that's going on double a non-diabetic Hba1c of 4.2% Somehow, I think it suits the medics if diabetics are ILL. Fits the scare mongering publicity better. And why are they more worried about hypos in elderly residents. Most will undoubtedly be T2s and not on insulin. Thus hypos are rare. If they feed these people high carb and sulphonylurea tablets, and NOT TEST daily, the will kill them faster. One of my walking group members with learning difficulties, lives in sheltered accomodation. No-one knows his last HbA1c or when it was last taken. I did ask his carer. She just thinks someone else is in charge of that. Herman knows himself that he's not allowed sugar or biscuits when we have coffee together. I always bring sweeteners for him. He's an absolute darling. Memory span of a flea and very limited undersanding, but delightful. I'd love to be sure he's being properly cared for, but I'm not in any position to help( except with those sweeteners. [/QUOTE]
