[QUOTE="Member496333, post: 2117922"] It's perhaps worth considering that, generally speaking, T1 autoimmune diabetics are only affected by their blood glucose, whereas T2 resistant diabetics must also consider all-body glucose backed up in their eyes, tissues and organs. It's not really the same ballpark. Glucotoxicity in the blood is not the same game as glucotoxicuty in the blood [I][B]and[/B][/I] everywhere else. I would always recommend caution when comparing one's own diabetes metrics with those of others. Even HbA1c can vary between individuals who might otherwise have identical average blood glucose concentrations, simply because the test assumes an arbitrary red blood cell lifespan, which is not a constant in everyone. There are other factors, too, but not worth overcomplicating things here. [/QUOTE]
