[QUOTE="EllieM, post: 2675541, member: 372717"] I think it's an age thing too. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.hey.nhs.uk/wp/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/TYPE-2-DIABETES-HbA1c-TARGETS-v4-March-2018.pdf[/URL] Looks like as you get older (and frailer, though I am not suggesting you are frail) the target gets relaxed to 70mmol/mol, which you are nowhere near. Plus hypos can lead to falls and they can be deadly if you have brittle bones (or at least lead to broken bones which you [B]really [/B]don't want.) Not saying that you have brittle bones either, but falls are bad news for the elderly. Can I ask what sort of insulin regime you are on [USER=24026]@borderter[/USER] ? (You don't have to answer).
