Diabetes is insidious, damage to our body's happens slowly and is cumulative. By the time we see the start of complications they are well on the way and takes Little more to to have full blown problems.
IE. it may take years to develop neropathy but once we have an incling of the problem it's pretty tuff to prevent it from progressing. I'm not saying you cant prevent it from worsaning just that the buffer is gone.
Now, science is starting to boleve any time a persons BGL is over 140 they are taking a step towards complications. True its a long road to get there, but it is one step at a time that will get you there.
So (I have recently developing neropathy in my feet, even with a A1C of under 7.0 for 10 years) I think that a BGL of 180 is to high. you want to live a long time without complications. That is lots of time to take accidental steps toward complications, you dont need to add to the journey by regularly having BGL over 140.
The lab A1C is the average BGL, you can (as your readings show) have high BGL and still have a good A1C.
