Hi there! I've been Type 1 for 62 years now and I agree with your comments. I actually aim for 7mmols or a little under at best on my HBA1c, but really for me I just try and keep within bounds on not having high bloods. In fact I'd rather be heading towards lows than highs which make me feel lousy. I've found over the years it's the doctors who are always going on about HBA1c 's and numbers. I just try and be sensible and the HBA1c tbh, is whatever comes out in the wash. It is after all, only an average. And to be really honest - after 50+ years with T1, we know more about the balancing act we go through every day than they do anyway. That balancing act can be very difficult and it gets more so the older we get I've found. On the positive front- Thank God for Libre 2 though
