[QUOTE="Lynn1, post: 793776, member: 132490"] Evening. You will see from my signature that my HbA1c has decreased from 44.00 to 43.00 - only down a tad, but heading in the right direction and only 1 point short of 'normal'. Am following the low carb/highish fat diet. I didn't have too much weight to loose and was soon within a healthy BMI range. Today I weigh 8st 5lbs and don't want to loose any more weight or I will begin to look scrawny. I am 4ft 11ins. I have been given every encouragement on this site to believe that prediabetics can, indeed, stop themselves from sliding into full blown diabetes and fully intend taking this golden opportunity. Whilst no expert, I see that your reading of 6.4 or 46.4 is still in the prediabetic range and would urge you to reduce your reading further as, I believe, 48 is the tipping point for diabetes. If I am wrong, please someone with more expertise jump in and correct me. If you are prediabetic, I very much doubt that your surgery will provide a meter and strips. The only way of keeping a close eye on your BG is to test, test and test again. I have purchased the Codefree meter and strips, as recommended by forum members. [/QUOTE]
