| My A1C is was just 6.1 down from 14.2 at diagnosis. I asked if I should aim for lower and the endo told me.. 6.1 is great.. I am doing well.. and the risk of LOWS is high for me if I try to modify more. The danger is.. what if you are driving.. I have kids.. I can't risk it. I don't want to pay for the low either.. they make you feel bottomed out. I want good health.. a good balance. Your A1C is fantastic.. but you might need to modify your insulin at that rate. Talk to your endo.. but even if a low doesn't " kill me" it sure enough ruins the rest of the day. IT is exhausting to me.
