[QUOTE="smidge, post: 772729, member: 29301"] No-one should feel oppressed. All we have to do is decide what level of risk we are happy to live with and aim at a level that gives roughly that level of risk. Obviously we need information and knowledge to make sure we are making decisions on a sound basis. The forum helps us get that information and knowledge by exposing us to many different approaches to diabetes management and to people's experience of following them. The decisions are ours alone. Personally, I would prefer to have normal blood sugars as that is the risk I am happy to live with. I can't achieve that, so I aim for as near as I can. I am not deluded enough to believe there is no difference of risk between what I can achieve and normal blood sugars, and I will always strive for better, but I'm comfortable that I am doing my best. Although I've also had a very bad blood sugar week too [USER=30007]@tim2000s[/USER] ! Smidge [/QUOTE]
