[QUOTE="aphex2k, post: 2148482, member: 912"] Hmm interesting... So what does a TIR of 70% equate to in hba1c % I can only compare my previous higher a1c's to my current one, and for all intents and purposes I don't feel any different, per se. I think for a non-diabetic a1c can be anything from 4- 6 but is that realistic target a T1 should also aim for? I'm also finding that even though my target is 6.7mmol/L on the pump, it seems to keep me around 7.5-8.5 so I'm not entirely sure just how much the micro bolus gives me if it's hovering above the pumps target? (Very noticeable when viewing night time results when there's not bolus given for food and no significant spikes/troughs. Micro bolus seems to be a mysterious figure of "some but not a lot" insulin - I've been told it varies but from how little to how much an individual MB event is.... I haven't got a scooby! I guess my bloods will show whether I have improved, and if the new pump is benefiting me or not. The more of this journey I go on, the more I'm thinking super low carb is the way to go. I'm not saying keto / paleo or anything like that, but the days I'm conscious about meals, are the good days when it comes to my levels. EG Saturday morning used to be my fry-up day - including toast and hash browns. Now I'm more than happy with a spinach omelette with some bacon or a sausage or two. Filled up until lunch. No BG spikes or crashes. Just content but not stuffed. [/QUOTE]
