[QUOTE="Dark Horse, post: 2504938, member: 52527"] Apologies for delay in replying. I'm very sorry to hear that you and your partner are having such a tough time. Regarding the advisability of bringing HbA1c down by 10 mmol/mol, there doesn't seem to be a lot of information out there. Research suggests that controlling lipids is important with regard to macular oedema (although some research is contradictory) and, given that your partner's levels are only just in the diabetic range, it might be better to focus on controlling lipids (and blood pressure, if applicable) for the time being. If you could manage to encourage your partner to do a walk every day, that would not only help with HbA1c, triglycerides and blood pressure, but may have the added bonus of improving mood. [/QUOTE]
