[QUOTE="Oldvatr, post: 1001245, member: 196898"] Hi. My DCN advised my test regime in conjunction with my GP (who pays for the strips) and ir is similar to regimes i have seen on other forums. It gives the closest moving average to my HBA1c. I think the reason why is because although the other regime of Pre, 1 hrPP, 2 hrPP shows the peak spike at 1hr after a meal, if that spike is fast acting then it has little effect on the Hba1c. Current thinking appears to be that the 2 and 4 hr tests give better indication of the harmful peaks that tend to last longer than the medication half life. I work on deltas to guage how foods affect me, so a falling reading at 2 hrs is good news, a rising delta at 4 hrs is bad news, and tends to show in the morning reading as well since the Gliclazide effect has washed out by 4 hrs, so I am raised all night. That is my understanding of my test phikosophy. I have only recently started LCHF diet, so have only just started learning how to control it. The Gliclazide does cause me to get too low, and I am learning how to delay or omit a dose to compensate. I never hypo'd until I started LCHF, but am getting sub 4.2 mmol.L readings regularly. I do not sleep comfortably with a level that low at bedtime, and could end up sleeping too well. I will not risk it, So, I am adjusting my meds and also my carbs to suit. I cannot see my DCN, or the dietician, or my GP until April - May next year, so I am left to experiment. With a daily average of between 6.4 and 7.1, I am happy with what I have achieved so far. Six months ago my average was 15.9, my HBa1c was 99, and I was getting PP readings in the 30's. [/QUOTE]
