[QUOTE="TorqPenderloin, post: 1056306, member: 211504"] -My 90 day average from my Accu-Chek Aviva Expert says 98 mg/dL or roughly 5.4 mmol/L (I'm in the US). -My Dexcom G5 report estimates my next A1C to be 4.7% (although I think that's incredibly optimistic). -My biggest control issues are with respect to dawn phenomenon and it's the only time I ever see myself above 8 mmol/L (although even that is rare). -My current dietary approach to eat around 3000 calories/day with less than 200 of that coming from carbohydrates (<50g). My protein intake is extremely high (In the 200-300g range) which is unusual for most. To answer your question, I'd consider that well-controlled (at least for now). However, I have to be extremely careful as my insulin needs change significantly based on what I'm eating, when I'm eating, how much I exercise, what types of exercise I'm doing, etc. There are some days I need as little as 5 total units (basal/bolus) and other days I need more than 30.
