I looked up foods with biotin and I realised that all my favourite foods have a lot of biotin except for Montezuma 's. My feeling is that if it is in food it is OK. The supplement I took had masses of biotin - which I think caused the problem.
It will be interesting to see if I have another low hb1ac in March. If I don't - it wasn't stopping the biotin that lowered the hba1c.. Of course I did buy some lovely new socks before I had the hba1c - so it could well be the new socks that gave me the low hba1c.
I had to take my old socks off at the doc's at my last A1C to let her check my feet for neuropathy. Kinda hard to tell her I "feel" the scratcher thingy when I can "see" it doing its thing. All was well so I will probably keep these socks awhile longer. They're no longer absolutely black but they still stay up.
