[Diabetes-talk] Another question...like I haven't sparked enoughconversation? LOL!

[William and Bernadette Jacobs]

It is my experience, Alan, that most doctors, if they're happy with your 
A1C, you're doing the right thing.  You may want to have that private 
calory-conversation with your doctor or diabetic educator.  You guys simply 
work out the best plan for you and wala--you should be well on your way. 
What a lot of us wouldn't give to have 5.3 or whatever that was?  I find, 
however, that if I go too close to that six number or much below six, I 
start having too many unmanageable lows and that's not good either.
