Some Info :
Tyoe 1 for 39 yrs
On pump since Nov 08 using Novorapid - Hba1c started at 9.5
Current Hba1c is 7
Target is 6
My current Hba1c is 7 but my specialist seems to think its not going to be of any great benefit in lowering it and seems to think that the differance between 6 & 7 is very minor and i would be better off trying to keep it level at around 7 than trying to force it lower and create more stress for myself. I admit i have struggled with the pump and feel quite pleased that i have managed to get it down to 7 but i just dont know if its worth all the stress and hassle to get it lower or do i just do what my specialist advises and just keeps things ticking over at around 7. Is he correct in what he says about the minor differance ?
