The main disadvantage of low bgs is that you can lose hypo awareness (obviously not the case for the posters on here who are achieving such awesome HbA1Cs <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />).  My last HbA1C was 6.9 and my diabetic consultant told me that she's take my driving license away if I didn't raise my blood sugars (I passed out in a shopping centre when I undermedicated a hypo and also had a bad night time hypo). I also lost hypo awareness when I had "normal" bgs during pregnancy, so I do sort of accept that I've got to keep my HbA1C above 7  (but not too much above).  I've deliberately raised my blood sugars a bit and had just one hypo is the last month (woke at night with 3.3).  Not sure what this will do to my HbA1C but am hoping to keep in the low 7s....</p></blockquote><p></p>
