[QUOTE="Grazer, post: 242728, member: 31362"] You're right, and I probably shouldn't have phrased it that way. The intended point was that a person running with an HbA1C level at 7.5 or more is in more long-term danger from that than they are from suffering from a hypo [u]IF[/u] they are on diet only, (which the poster is),and that point is valid. We don't want to scare new members, but I guess Diabetes IS pretty scary, and sometimes we need a bit of "Scare" to motivate us to do the right thing. I think being scared to go lower than 7.5 with our HbA1C is worse than being scared about the danger of NOT going below 7.5, which I think we all know is real. Nonetheless, your point is taken and it shows that you can give the wrong message if you're not careful. [/QUOTE]
