[QUOTE="Flowerpot, post: 939303, member: 47217"] I am also up to my neck in a similar position with fractures that won't heal, osteoporosis at a young age ,no hypo awareness for years, desperate to maintain the small amount of sight I have and being told to keep an HbA1c of at least 7%+ whilst my brain is telling me to aim for 6.5%. My bone chemistry and fracture healing is absolutely up the creek after 37 years of Type I and calcium levels, Vit D levels and Parathyroid levels are all involved. It is a minefield to find a balance where I'm doing the optimum thing to best serve all the factors involved and minimise future risks and complications.The diabetes tightrope continues to narrow even further. I'm a bit shocked at the suggested levels to aim for to try and regain hypo awareness! I was told to aim for 8-10 for 8 weeks but alas 10 years later my hypo awareness has never returned and trying to control blood sugar without any inbuilt early warning system is one heck of a scary ride even with the help of cgm. I hope you can find that elusive happy balance Dancer where you feel safer to exercise without jeopardising anything else. [/QUOTE]
