[QUOTE="RosieLKH, post: 589545, member: 108816"] Well, just phoned the surgery and got the basic result for my recent HbA1c test. In May, when I was refused knee surgery due to high BS levels it was 94 mmol/mol, by the first week of July, after low carbing for most of the interval between tests, it is down to 64 mmol/mol - with the attached note of 'abnormal level - but expected and improved - no action'. As I understand it that blood test will show an average for about 12 weeks. I'd been low carbing for about 9 weeks, so I my BS levels would include 3 weeks of high carbs (very high!), so while I still have a way to go to get to 48 mmol/mol, I'd expect to be below 64 mmol/mol by now. Giving myself a small and reserved high five here! But for anyone reading these posts in the hope of finding out if low carbing works to bring BS levels down - well, yes, it does - and in a fairly short time span. [/QUOTE]
