How many patients do the target?

Hello @fer

For the last 90 days, Dexcom's Clarity shows me an IRR of 97% (the default range is 70-180).

Average glucose 100 mg/dl.

GMI 5.7%, although in the last blood test (2 months ago) I have a glycosylated level of 4.9%.I don't know if these indicators are equivalent.

The results are very good, although it requires me to always be very attentive and with a certain mental exhaustion.I am still in my first year on insulin.

I have never seen such good results.Congratulations and don't get overwhelmed, this is a long-distance race.

@theOne congratulations, really 👏

A 97% IRR (70–180 mg/dl) with an average of 100 mg/dl is excellent control, especially being in your first year on insulin and also being LADA.That shows involvement, learning and a lot of dedication.

About your question: GMI and HbA1c are not exactly the same.

The GMI is an estimate based on sensor data (Dexcom), while the glycosylated (HbA1c) is a direct laboratory measurement.Typically, they are fairly aligned, but they can differ due to multiple factors (individual variability, half-life of red blood cells, etc.).What is important is the trend and the clinical context, not just the isolated number.

That said, I want to highlight something very important that you yourself mention: mental exhaustion.

Such tight control can involve constant surveillance, continuous micro-decisions, and internal pressure to “get it perfect.”And as @JuanSolo says, this is a long-distance race.In diabetes, it is not whoever goes faster who wins, but whoever manages to maintain balance for years.

Sometimes it is healthy to ask yourself:

Am I controlling diabetes or is diabetes controlling me?

Can I maintain this level of demand without burning out?

The goal is not only to have good numbers, but to have quality of life.

And this is where the forum makes the difference.Sharing these results, but also the fatigue behind them, helps a lot to others who are starting out and believe that everything is easy when they see spectacular figures.Thanks for that honesty 🙌

Behind a 97% IRR there are decisions, doubts, early mornings, corrections... and a lot of brain work.

And that also deserves recognition 💙
