[QUOTE="TorqPenderloin, post: 1104054, member: 211504"] I think it would be interesting to somehow graph/compare all available data about the various treatment approaches and somehow correlate it to a1c levels. Obviously, that would be an incredible complicated thing to do, but companies like Medtronic and IBM are starting to work on it. To elaborate about what I'm suggesting, it would be cool to somehow compare things like: insulin regimen (mdi or pump) frequency of testing (5x per day, 10x per day,etc) diet (low carb, high carb, vegan, etc) exercise Obviously, we know that some of them are very effective, but it would be cool to have a database that somehow quantifies how effective they are. For example: people who test more than 5 times day are 200% more likely to have an a1c below 7.0% than someone who tests less than 1 time each day....obviously that's a made-up figure, but hopefully you get my point. Some of those statistics already exist, but there seems to be a particular lack of information around diet. I'm a big fan of providing people with options and allowing them to decide for themselves which is best. It would be very interesting to see how strong the correlation is between number of carbs consumed each day and a1c levels. [/QUOTE]
