[QUOTE="Snodger, post: 217679, member: 27045"] if you can get it down to around 7ish you will significantly reduce your risk of getting long-term complications, major studies have shown. Now you are starting to match your insulin to carbs you'll find your HbA1c will probably start to come down. It's good to aim for a lower HbA1c, but don't beat yourself up about it - it's not easy to balance for us insulin users. Most Type 1s have Hba1c above 7.5. As stoney says, it doesn't matter how much carbs you eat as long as you inject enough to cover it. It's totally up to you. Experiment and see what ratios work best. [/QUOTE]
