[QUOTE="Lynnzhealth, post: 2477024, member: 436056"] I'm T1 myself, however, today I am fed up, too. I spoke with my Diabetic Educator today and she doesn't mind if my A1C is 7% or just above. I think that's too high. I'm almost 74 and have only been dealing with this for just over 4 years. Here is something I found on the diabetes uk site: [LIST] [*]A normal pre-prandial (before meal) blood glucose level will be between 4 and 7 mmol/l. [*]After eating (post-prandial) levels should be below 9 mmol/l when tested 2 hours after a meal. [*]When going to bed for the night, levels should be no more than 8 mmol/l. [/LIST] It's so confusing, because I want my BG to be in these ranges. So, why does the DE not mind if it goes above after meals. I am on low carb and today 2 hours after lunch it went to 14.4 (mmol/l). I did a correction and it's only gone down to 13.6 and that's after an hour. I am extremely confused and fed up. And, I, too, want to eat something from before T1D and say to heck with it. So far, I haven't caved in, however, it's very hard not to. Also, I'd rather have someone on the Med team who actually hasT1D so they know exactly how difficult this is and exactly how we feel. I'm sure it would be better for T2s also. With all the new studies today, book learning from 25 years ago is not cutting it. UPGRADE!! Thanks for listening to my rant. Hopefully we can all get a handle on this. [/QUOTE]
