[QUOTE="hanadr, post: 337708, member: 8110"] It depends on HOW this NORMAL HbA1c was achieved whether it is a danger sign or not. I read you are a T1, thus you MUST be using insulin. If you go through a LOT of swings in BG[ they call them excursions, ] A low A1c can be a danger sign, however if you keep close to Normal with few excursions up or down, you should be fine. A healthcare professional working with diabetes patients, SHOULD know that. Unfortunately they often only know of the ACCORD study, which in any case only refers to T2 and which claimed to find that people who recorded lower HbA1cs had a slightly greater risk of death. It's pretty much accepted nowadays that the ACCORD study is SERIOUSLY flawed and in any case it wasn't for T1patients Hana [/QUOTE]
