[QUOTE="Scott-C, post: 2044546, member: 374531"] Things are starting to slowly change, kitedoc. I'm lucky enough to live in an area which basically gives libre to any T1 who wants it, and the last I read was that the area had about 1000 on it, so they're accustomed now to seeing libre stats and agp graphs. So, while they do still use a1c as an important metric, the docs I've seen have been ok with me showing them the stats re time in range, mean, median and relative standard deviation, which show how the a1c is made up and show it's not through having lots of hypos but more or less by not going above 8 or 9 that often. It's going to take time but I'm optimistic that cgm will become more liberally prescribed and docs will start paying more attention to time in range than a1c. It's just not been available to them before but it is now. My GP once said to me, "hmm, maybe 40 will be the new 50!" [/QUOTE]
