[QUOTE="aphex2k, post: 2148434, member: 912"] For those aiming for super tight control and low hba1c, would love to know why this is the target for you and does your specialist agree with this target or were you told "this is what you need to aim for"? If my next bloods come back and I'm lower than my current 7.7 I'll be happy, but I doubt I'll physically feel any different? I appreciate the current NICE guidelines were updated to suggest T1 should ideally be sub 6.5% to reduce risk of long term cardiovascular risk. I wonder if the new "time in range" focus is more a marketing / selling point of using the 670g and CGM or if other pump/cgm offerings also favour TIR as a better measurement than hba1c? I note NICE guidelines also focusing on CGM state TIR of 70% or better now too. [B]Blood glucose targets[/B] 1.6.13Advise adults with type 1 diabetes to aim for: [LIST] [*]a fasting plasma glucose level of 5–7 mmol/litre on waking [B]and[/B] [*]a plasma glucose level of 4–7 mmol/litre before meals at other times of the day. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
