Dear Glenntaj,

LOVED your post. Totally agree with everything you said, too.

Even the ADA keeps changing their "cut-offs".

Every now and then, my doc may say, "Well, the ADA has changed their levels to be ....." and I just want to scream.

I really don't care what the magic numbers are according to the ADA. The only thing I care about is controlling and limiting the damage to my body organs from living with elevations in my blood sugar.

It is NOT the ADA that is going to suffer the consequences of diabetic complications. It is not their eyesight, kidneys, limbs, heart, etc. at risk. It is mine, so I don't try to stay below THEIR somewhat arbitrary numbers. I try to stay within numbers that will limit my complications.

REALLY glad to read your post. So very well stated as you always do.

I would add the little icon "GOOD POST" if only I knew how to do that. I can put it in a PM but don't know how to access it from a post within a thread.

Thanks again. You are so spot on as usual.
