[QUOTE="alaska, post: 182611, member: 14213"] I think some type 1s who safely can, should try aiming to keep their levels at non-diabetic levels -however... It's about where the safety line is drawn. Even though I try to keep my levels below 7.5 mmol/l where possible, I'll make exceptions for certain things -notably driving. I'm not going to beat myself up if I get 8.3 after an hour's driving because I feel it's better than risking a hypo. Risking hypos at night can also be risky and some people are worse affected by hypos than others. I get a lot of hypos because I fairly aggressively keep my sugars down but my hypo awareness is significantly better than it was when I was eating a high-carb diet and had blood sugars like a rollercoaster.
