[QUOTE="VashtiB, post: 2402403, member: 511345"] Hello, I agree that there is variability in the approaches taken by different people. I personally like my levels to stay below 6 and like them as low as possible. As a person with type 2 diabetes and on no medication other than metformin it is highly highly unlikely that I will get a hypo so I don't need to worry about that and neither do a lot of people with type 2 diabetes. I worry about possible complications from high blood sugar levels. So that is something that keeps me motivated. I am also an all or nothing person so I find it easier to keep my carb intake very low rather than a level of say 100 grams of carbs a day. This is the balance that works for me. Everyone has to find their own balance. If the balance that you have works for you and you have untaken sufficient research so that you are comfortable with your balance then that is great. So for me my personal comfort level is with lower levels than yours but that is fine. we are all different so we should expect different ways of approaching this. My biggest concern on this forum is to be supportive of people in their journey to find their balance and maintaining it. My views on my personal levels of comfort may change in the future but at the present time I find that it works for me and my life usually feels good. [/QUOTE]
