[QUOTE="NicoleC1971, post: 2305838, member: 365308"] The trouble with higher bgs is that you get used to them and imagine that all's well with the complications. This may be so now but the reason the doctors try and keep you under 7% (58?) is because afer about 20 years you'd be at much greater risk for those complications (this came out of research done circa 2008 in various studies). I think FSL is a great idea if you've got access to that as there is a difference between someone who is 70 all the time and someone who's going up and down a blood sugar rollercoaster! The former is better than the latter hence the comments on this thread about TIME in Range. The good news is that the pump/monitor tech is getting better but don't wait for it or stick your head in the sand (speaking as someone who got away with it until I didn't anymore and now have sight loss).
