[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 1514648, member: 94045"] As his HbA1c has increased from 40 to 46 it isn't just his morning levels that have increased. His average levels throughout the day and night have increased from 6.6mmol/l to 7.6mmol/l. (The converter is here [URL]http://www.diabetes.co.uk/hba1c-to-blood-sugar-level-converter.html[/URL] ) He needs to go back to basics and test before he eats and again 1 and 2 hours after first bite, and start keeping a food diary including portion sizes. He can then record his levels alongside the food and look for patterns. He can see which food choices are causing his levels to rise. Something in his diet is likely causing this. His slice of toast may not have done him any favours. Bread is one of the major factors in increasing levels. If that doesn't produce any useful information, then maybe it is time for meds. [/QUOTE]
