[QUOTE="markd, post: 221384, member: 13859"] I agree absolutely, I cannot see why any T2 would settle for an A1C higher than the normal range, without good cause (being a T1 and/or on insulin or other drugs that can cause a hypo being a good cause, I think.) Many authorities reckon the normal range runs between 4.6 and 6.0 (though I think Bernstein goes lower still) and bearing in mind there is a straight-line increase in cardiac risk as A1c goes up, it only makes sense to stay as low as possible, Bloodsugar101 has a lot of info - [url=http://www.phlaunt.com/diabetes/15945839.php]http://www.phlaunt.com/diabetes/15945839.php[/url] - and says, in brief: 1) If your A1c is between 4.8% and 5.4% your risk is beginning to rise. 2)If your A1c is between 5.4% and 6.0% your cardiac risk is becoming significant. mark [/QUOTE]
