Generally I’ve never been below about the mid 5’s

True I’ve not had bread for some time. Your profile regarding your stats progress is impressive @bulkbiker I myself started at 96kg a few years ago with Hba1c at 69 and currently 83kg and 52 Hba1c I put on a couple of kilos over Christmas but even before that I’ve been plateaued for 9 months...
