[QUOTE="ann34+, post: 941418, member: 94348"] Hi, Diamattic, i agreed with your original post - i imagine you were answering the question rationally, and using the word 'acceptable' in a particular way, i agree we dont know what the level of HbA1c is which will prevent or at least reduce complications in any one individual, and that, anyway, HbA1c does not measure temporary spikes, which may harm some, and that the only way is to keep blood glucose under 8.0 at all times in an ideal world. But its not an ideal world - speak to any diabetic organisation careline, or meter careline - a large number, i think still a majority, of type ones in the uk at least, do not reach the target. I think you are in Canada - i dont know the situation there? I was using the word acceptable more in the everyday sense as 'acceptable to the particular individual' and i cant split that off from the effort thats willing to be made /difficulties that are able to be put up with, etc or what is acceptable in order that the person prevent hypos, etc, . i personally treat the HbA1c as a workable number to aim for, as long trials have shown the figure will greatly lessen complications in a large proportion of people, but i factor my individual issues in to my decisions.
