[QUOTE="cugila, post: 186309, member: 15325"] I had a recent discussion with a Member (T1) about these levels........your HbA1c level should be agreed with your HCP's as they know all your background and medical history. Together you should decide what is a good level for YOU .........however, ANY reduction has to be good to try and avoid complications later. The consensus is between 6.5% and 7.5% depending on risk factors etc, however as we know that complications can start to set in at around 7% I think lower has to be better if achievable with all the caveats about going too low. Here is a link to what I had to say about it.
