I got the impression he wasn't talking about lax, but the ideal of the 4.5 A1c was too hard. It *is* a lot harder to hit targets for a type 1. Bernstein seems formidable and never talks about screwing up. We all screw up. In some ways, Bernstein tells us that we absolutely cannot screw up. I think the guy in question took that to heart and that is a mistake. He was saying to himself that he couldn't be that perfect, so what is the point?
When I'm doing deep extended range dives, I absolutely cannot screw up and that's a lot of pressure, but it is only for short periods of time. And you're also never alone and you have backup in case something happens. When the penalty for screwing up is instant death, you find ways not to.
