Simplistically put, if I want to have a non-diabetic's lifespan, I need to keep my sugars at non-diabetic levels. An A1C of 4.8 equates (according to Bernstein's methodology) to an average blood sugar of 92.
I think you are the same guy that basically tries to run in that range.
There is no observational study that supports this, yet you continue to quote that causation/correlation stuff as if it is science. It's dangerous. If you can survive like that, great. More power to you. But that lifestyle comes with dramatic risks too that need to always be stated.
If someone ever was able to do a longitudinal observational study, my hypothesis is T1D with AIC in the <5.5 would have similar reduced lifespan to those >7.5 for the elevated risk factors of bed death and car fatalities. Of course it's just a guess, like yours that is just backed in anecdotal evidence and logic. <5.5 could equate to >10 maybe >12 but we don't know.
APC systems should go a long way to reducing bed death and those other risks. So there's that. This whole thing will go implantable in the next decade. At that point it's just a robo pancreas and a refill appointment.
