What do you think ?

Just wanted to find out:

What average number do you guys think is safe to be in and is not too agressive in terms of complications. Is 140 too high ? 150 ?

My problem is that as soon as i see a number from 175-240 i totally panic and it ruins my mood. And that number would not last longer than 2-3 hours because i correct, but still stress over that ?

Also, how many times a day do you guys check ?

I read that microvascular damage starts occurring over 130, so I try and stay under 130 all the time. I prefer 80s fasting and 90s pre-meals.

I try to keep mine within 4.0 - 7.9 mmol/L at every reading and my fasting between 5 and 6.

Apparently even the normo's can go into double figures an hour after a meal, which is why we say to test 2 hours after a meal.

oh yeh, and i test about 10 times a day, 7 minimum
