[QUOTE="JAT1, post: 2043914, member: 490842"] I don't intend to say anything politically incorrect that would alienate anyone but ... it's obvious to many that doctors are more afraid of lows than highs. Lows have resulted in fairly quick deaths attributable to hypoglycemia, whereas it can take years before you die of the complications of highs, and then, what is the proof that whatever it was deemed to be the cause of death resulted from high blood sugar? It's all about getting sued. I have a low hba1c of 4.2% (I think that's around 22). It's the lowest my endo has ever seen. I don't suffer hypos because I can feel when they are coming about 30 minutes before they hit and eat a couple bites of a banana or a carrot to raise bs and consequently avoid them. [/QUOTE]
