[QUOTE="Scott-C, post: 1488978, member: 374531"] I had a few bad hypos in my early days after dx which substantially increased my chances of making a bad crossing the road judgment call and accidentally walking in front of a bus! My general take on the subject of complications is that if you see an a1c or AGP of a non-T, they're generally quite tight, so, disregarding other factors, it makes sense for me to try to emulate that. The idea of excess sugar putting pressure on the smaller ends of the blood stream just kind of makes sense. I think we sometimes look at this too much through the lens of T and ignore the other things going on. Complications and other illneses can happen for any number of reasons unrelated to T. There's an awful lot of stuff going on in our bodies apart from the obvious one of, to us, carbs and insulin. I've frankly given up paying attention to "latest studies". Red wine, chocolate (insert any other foodstuff here) is good, then it's bad. I'm hedging my bets by eating a broad range of food. Generally eat a Med salad type thing at the Spanish run cafe next to my office for lunch, but if I want to have a pork pie every now and then, won't lose any sleep over that. [/QUOTE]
