[QUOTE="Erin, post: 2402560, member: 33777"] Well, yes these guidelines are probably a result of statistical findings on the whole; but there may be variables in blood sugar tolerance such as age, diet, exercise, general health and personal tolerance. When I mentioned going up to 18, which I avoid, but it sometimes happens, I meant that it does not feel as bad and on the "comfort" spectrum is not as disabling as a hypo, which for me as the years have gone by, is now even at 4.0. The argument seems to be that hyperglycemia in the long run has serious diabetic effects-- question: what is the long run? But the hypos too, can have an immediate adverse effect on the brain esp. if repetitious, and dangerous if occurring in your sleep for example. So, yes, it is a balancing act which requires some transparency in studying different groups of individuals. [/QUOTE]
