Not true.Even type ones with the tightest control will get hypos weekly unless like said their blood glucose is running higher.
I think there seems to be a certain amount of judgement on this thread.
Hypos are a nasty part of Medically controlled diabetes. Some people have many, some are fortunate to have few. We are all different. I can be pootling along controlled beautifully, then trip down to low levels without doing anything different in my daily management. We should be supporting, not judging people living with this unpredictable grind of a disease. You may be lucky to have only the odd hypo, be proud not judgemental, things can turn on a sixpence.
I just think the target range is unrealistic and I’m saying that running slightly higher and avoiding hypos is a better way of life. At least that’s my theory for this stage of my condition as only 5 months in.
He's using a new system, and from what I see and hear of others using the same system, it is very possible to have pretty much non-diabetic consistency through even travelling and exercise. I suspect that 100% in range is due to very careful management to see how good the new system is and going to great lengths to not have any hypos or hypers, but it also shows that it is possible.Titled "100 % in range, for the first time ever." I think that is enough said right there.

What's the new system I'd love to check it out
He's using loop, https://loopkit.github.io/loopdocs/ , you can see video hereWhat's the new system I'd love to check it out
I said no more than 1 or 2 a week, and hardly ever below 3.5. I suppose my hba1c is below 40. It's not that I advise people to do the same, I'm probably just lucky that my diabetes is pretty controllable.Even type ones with the tightest control will get hypos weekly unless like said their blood glucose is running higher.
The right target range is very different for different people, and even at different times in life.I just think the target range is unrealistic and I’m saying that running slightly higher and avoiding hypos is a better way of life

You probably don't mean to, but you make it sound like I'm a liar.
Thanks!I definitely don't think you are a liar, I did not see the hardly ever below 3.5 part. If that's the case then yes I agree, I think the good majority of type 1's should be able to maintain no more than 1 to 2 hypos (below 3.5 mmol/L)
