[QUOTE="Marie 2, post: 2462850, member: 475037"] An A1C in the 42-53 (6’s) have been the recommended levels here in the US for a while. But people run into some doctors that sometimes freak below 42 (6). Although it’s usually below 36 (Low 5’s) that they don’t like. They prefer 42-52 (6’s) But as cgm’s are being used more, endos look at TIR to judge more how you are doing. Here they want lows to stay lower than 4% of your total with hardly any "very low" readings. Even lower A1c's are completely acceptable if you can prove you don't go too low. Endos here generally pay more attention to how much hypo time you have. Here that is considered under 3.9 (70). Because you could have an A1C of 53 (7) and be having some major lows with highs and still have an A1C in “acceptable range" to achieve it. . [/QUOTE]
