[QUOTE="Rokaab, post: 2429242, member: 450212"] One thing I will say is that do NOT compare your numbers to T2's using low-carb to be in the 4-7 range, for most T1's that would be a completely unreasonable expectation. For example: in the evening before bed I'm happy with 6-8, if its less than 6 and dropping even slightly I'll need a small snack, more than 8.5ish I'll take a relevant correction (my pump can do 0.1 of a unit so I can do very small amounts - ie I can have 0.1 of a unit) - but note that everyone is different, so dont base what you do on what I do, my blood sugar goes on a different rollercoaster ride everynight. The numbers you have stated aren't that bad especially since you're not carb counting and on fixed doses - far far better than mine ever were. The 9-11 before breakfast is likely dawn phenomenon or foot-on-the-floor , but this can only really be dealt with by correction doses, not the Lantus - many have this issue Also whilst bad control can cause complications it is a 'can' not a 'guarantee', now-a-days there is much more available to help stop things/slow things down/deal with things. If bad control automatically caused those thing I'd have lost my legs and my sight many many years ago, I mean you cant just ignore your control but you can only do your best and don't blame yourself if it doesn't behave as often it just wont through no fault of your own [/QUOTE]
