[QUOTE="Grateful, post: 1594179, member: 438800"] That's terrific! I am going to take a slightly different tack from the other replies and say, it may be perfectly OK to reduce your goals. I cannot comment on your precise situation, not being a doctor, and you said you had other conditions to look after so your current target presumably makes sense. In my case, the doctor said he would be happy if I could get my A1C to 7.0% (53) or lower, otherwise he would prescribe meds. So that is my goal, which is much more modest than yours. As it happens, I achieved better results (see signature) but if my A1C actually increases again in the future, I have decided that is OK as long as it doesn't cross the target my doctor gave me. Different people, different levels of perfectionism/anxiety about this. In my case the anxiety level changed hugely over time. At diagnosis, I thought the world was coming to an end. Nine months later, I'm much more Zen about it all. This is in part because, thanks to research and fora like this one, I don't feel alone or unique. [/QUOTE]
