I was recently told by my doctor that new standards had been adopted concerning hbaic and dailey monitoring of blood sugar.Hba1c at 5.0 or below and meter readings below 100.These standards,to me,are totally unrealistic and virtuall unatainable.Some doctors fantasy.Anyone have any info or thoughts on this.When i was diagnosed 6 years ago,the numbers were 7 or below for hba1c and below 120 for meter readings.

Well, 5.0 would be better. I'm not diabetic though but my levels vary when I'm stressed.
120 after eating sounds fine to me.
