Hi Everybody, I was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes at the end of June this year with a Hba1C reading of 54. The GP was not very helpful but suggested I make lifestyle changes to try and improve this. (They didn't suggest what changes!) Having read up about Type 2 diabetes, I switched to a low carb diet (Less than 50g per day) and this made a significant difference to my weight and I lost just shy of 11kg. I had my Hba1C rechecked on the 8th September at a Bupa health check and it had dropped to 41. I was really pleased with this and have continued to follow exactly the same diet and have also increased my exercise levels. On the 1st October I had my Hba1C level checked again via my GP and the level had increased to 45. Can anybody help me understand how much HbalC levels can vary between tests? I'm confused as to why my levels would increase over the course of a month when I have maintained the same diet etc. I know that a level if 45 isn't very high but I'm surprised it has increased. If anything I was expecting it to improve further. Many Thanks for any help or advice offered. Andy
