[QUOTE="Antje77, post: 2513462, member: 372207"] My doctor is happy with anything between 4 and 10, and she's supportive if I like to try to stay on the lower end of that scale. I use a Libre, so I can closely follow what happens throughout the day, and I can usually prevent hypo's instead of react to them because I can see the line of the graph dropping. On fingerpricks only this would be much harder because you can't see if you're dropping or rising, and often you'll only notice a hypo when you're in the 3's already. Having lots of hypo's can cause you to not feel them anymore until you become unconscious, which is obviously very dangerous. So as long as I can mostly stay out of hypo territory my doctor and I are happy! I think official guidelines say to aim for at least 70% of time in range (between 4 and 10), of which no more than 4% below 4. But of course you'd need a CGM to know exactly what percentage of time you are in range. [/QUOTE]
