[QUOTE="Deleted Account, post: 2006277"] I would ask what you mean by "under control"? As this was posted in a general (non-type specific) sub-forum, I will answer as someone with type 1 diabetes. It is possible to have what we call "unicorn days": days with no hypos and no hypers. These are days when I would consider my BG to be "under control". However, as the name "Unicorn Days" suggests, these days are rare. Some people with type 1 may achieve it through making adjustments to their lifestyle such as changing their diet, reducing exercise, planning everything in advance. To me, this feels like the diabetes is in even more control. As someone with type 1 diabetes, I think control is a matter of balance. How much of your life are you willing to give to the diabetes?
