[QUOTE="SAH154, post: 260435, member: 42640"] Hi Kylie my first HBA1C post diagnosis was 6.7% which I put down to the honeymoon period as my sugars/insulin control rocketed and things went badly as my HBA1Cs were 11-12 for many years after much hard work and complications and above all after a row with a stupid consultant I was moved to a different PCT and my present consultant is fantastic and prior to my operation my HBA1Cs were in the 8s so not perfect but this did arrest a lot of the complications I have. 6.1% as said is a fantastic result and is almost within the non-diabetic range of between 4- 6% Study's have shown 7% is the best result and below that the risk of death/hypos outweighs the benefits of tighter glucose control A lot depends of nocturnal hypos if you have them now and then you need to be aware this is a very at risk time for a lot of T1s and you also need to be aware some T1s have little problems and great control I used to work with a guy who hardly ever tested his bloods, used mixtard insulin (which is generally rubbish) never had hypos and had HBA1c between 6-7% but these people are rare [/QUOTE]
