[QUOTE="Andydragon, post: 2321265, member: 521079"] Well doesn't America do cheese in a can? Hopefully this amazing trade deal, ahem, keeps all of that fake food a long way away from us [USER=527609]@Nicole T[/USER] yes aiming for lower than 8.5 is a good aim, that's averaging 52 in the hba1c and whilst not exact of course, with margins of error is somewhat high given NHS recommendation for type 2 is 48 or below (more like 7.8 on the finger tests). [URL]https://www.diabetes.co.uk/hba1c-to-blood-sugar-level-converter.html[/URL] If possible to get lower and out of diabetic range then it's even better. But we all have to decide our best approach and I'm surprised the doctors haven't told you want they want to see. Although to be honest, they aren't always right either! What I found was running higher tends to keep increasing as your body is under more is more strain. Not scientific but my bloods kept increasing, as did my drugs. I couldn't maintain without major changes. It's cause we care :) [/QUOTE]
