[QUOTE="moonstone, post: 172123, member: 6133"] Hi Nikki, You're absolutely right. Completely, 100%. In fact, if you go on the DAFNE course which is currently recognised as best practice and is being slowly rolled out across the UK, they ask you to aim for the HbA1c levels you quoted and tell you to expect about 2 mild hypos a week whilst aiming for that type of control. If you've never been below 3.0, you haven't had a moderate or severe hypo unless your symptoms were so severe that you had to have help from someone else to get the sugar into you. You win, hands down, no question! Your boyfriend's just scared, because he cares about you. He's going to have to learn to deal with that, because the implications of being too high all the time are equally as scary and much worse for you in the long-term. [/QUOTE]
