Aiming for normal would be excellent, although it's easier said than done. It's recommended to try and keep your A1c under 48mmol/mol to ward off complications for as long as possible. It used to be 53mmol/mol, however this figure was recently reduced.[USER=25759]@daisy1[/USER] can provide you with some advice that may help clarify any queries you have. Even if you've been diabetic for a long time, there's always something to learn and every day is a school day.
