If my Hba1c is 46 and a certain food spikes me, if my Hba1c is reduced to 40 will the same food still spike me? Will my bs be more tolerant the lower my Hba1c is or will a food always spike me no matter what my Hba1c is?

HbA1c is a measure of "average over a period of time". Mathematically an average is a pretty poor representation of a distribution of glucose levels. You will get the same average for the numbers 39, 40, 41 and the numbers 0,40 80. So what is the average telling you?
So the answer to you question is an average tells you nothing about your variance from the norm. There are 3 ways to lower an average.
1. Cut out the high spikes (eat less spikey foods or target exercise to remove them)
2. Lower all the measures (drugs, diet)
3. Skew your distribution towards the lower numbers (exercise, drugs)
Hope that answers your question!

when I get my bs monitor - trust me to order it just before a bank holiday - I will broaden my range of foods to test.
