So What Are The Goals

[sony7]

I know everyone here has (or seems to have) different bg goals. I know Bernstein says we should be able to always stay within a few points of 83, Ruhl seems more "relaxed" about that. What do people here at DD suggest or do?

83mg/dL? If you express your units in mmol/L you may experience more feedback from the forum members

Personally if I could sit at 5mmol/L for the rest of my life I'd be delighted. This however is virtually impossible. It's better to look at the overall level; HbA1c. With this, I'd like to remain <40mmol/mol for the rest of my days.

Im still learning, only recently diagnosed earlier in the year, but i figure if I can try and get and stay below say 6.5 that is my immediate goal for this year, I appreciate your post.

I go for 'normal'

I don't chase any lower than a non diabetic would usually achieve.
