[QUOTE="Rokaab, post: 1910569, member: 450212"] Well, I think its only in the last 6-8 years that I've got my HbA1C down to less than 8, I can't verify that I was always above that before then (lost records and such), but I've had diabetes for 40+ years now (and I suspect my HbA1Cs before then were probably more than 8) and the only issues I have are a slight bit of retinopathy and maculopathy but the hospital say its stable and were happy to discharge me earlier in the year as nothing needs to be done to it. I may be lucky that I've escaped anything major, but my liver and kidneys still look perfectly fine, so it is possible, though as ever you do want to try and avoid being above those numbers cos the complications can happen, and some may get them with better control than I've had.
