[QUOTE="pumppimp, post: 469406, member: 52090"] Hopefully you'll get a better price, Sorry to hear about your eyes. I know what you mean about the standard deviation of control, In my opinion I would rather be stable and a few points higher on the HbA1C scale than in target but zipping up and down. I remeber going in and getting told off about my 7.8% I think it was and being shown somebody on injections who had a lower HbA1c and told that to fluctuate and have lots of hypos and hypers was normal and that I must have had really bad highs to get my 7.8%. He was mortally embarrassed when i showed him my readings and realised that I did check regularly and rarely went into the twenties, I just prefer to be slightly higher when going through a bad patch or when feeling unwell. I've not had my CGM long although I also need to be careful that I don't manage to pull my control in too tightly too quickly or I might be in the same situation, I was told about some background retionpathy 6 months after my pump but has since cleared up, hopefully I won't do the same thing.
