[QUOTE="Scardoc, post: 934463, member: 44692"] I don't follow this logic. The vast majority of T1's do not meet the previous targets so I wouldn't expect any sudden increase in hypo's, lack of hypo awareness or the resulting strain on paramedics. If anything, a reduced target may result in an even poorer set of results (and no doubt Barbara Young will jump straight on them) in the immediate future but could, potentially, in the longer term lead to people achieving lower results. Who knows. There's nothing to set the heather alight in these guidelines or to indicate that anyone is closer to understanding why so many T1's cannot achieve the target HbA1C. As for the CGM - we'd all love one but given the expense involved the guidelines are clearly saying "these are for people who desperately need the help". And why not? Testing between 4 & 10 times a day should be more than sufficient to build the picture and gain confidence with what is going on with your BG levels. Naturally, this can change and you'll need to get obsessive now and then to allow for changes. [/QUOTE]
