I think it is important to have an A1c goal. I probably have an OCD type mind and therefore always have to set my self a new goal, of course on the better side. I just got my last A1c and it is back down to 5.5%. My goal is 5.0% with little lows. I am back on the CGM, still on the pump with apidra and I am doing pretty good. The only lows are when I over treat or over correct, and the highs are when I eat too much! So all things that I can control really.
Testing many times in the day is key, as CGM are not (at least not my version) very accurate yet. But I make it work with what I've got.
Many people were telling me that my goals were crazy. But I am sticking to them, because I know that by continuing to shoot for a cycling season and athletic level as good/better as pre-diabetes (like my 2007 year) will get me my A1c of < 5.0%.
Set a goal and stick to it, with intelligence and safety you can do it.
