[QUOTE="jeb, post: 189773, member: 34002"] I have been a type1 on insulin for 56 years. I have no complications due to the fact that I keep my A1c between 4-6. I react if when I take a blood test, which occurs daily 6 times a day if it is outside that range. It seems to me that doctors tell diabetics to have higher blood sugars than in non diabetics, seems to me to be specious advice. I find if mine goes over 7 I feel physically ill so I am aware that I have to react and do something about it. I also maintain a low carb diet having just enough carbs to balance the amount of insulin in my system. This balance was something I was taught in the 1950s and have always maintained. It doesn't seem complicated to me so I don't understand why some poor folk don't use their noddles to keep themselves well. Seeing a specialist months in the future will not help your blood sugars today. You have to be responsible for your own body not depend on others to do so. Just learn and keep your blood level. It really isn't hard to do. [/QUOTE]
