6.5 for me as well this morning.

My last test showed HbA1C 44 in beginning of August. I'm hoping that it has dropped even more in the meantime. I have a medichecks test at home that I intend to do and send off one of these days. Fingers crossed I've been eating low enough carb to lower the result even further.

Hi All, Last night I was looking for an answer online and I couldn't find one, so I'm hoping that somebody here has had an experience and can advise. I have lowered my HbA1C from 65 to 43, and I am continuing with the LCHF diet. I am currently still on 500mg Metformin 3 times a day. Before...

It could be the glycerine in vaping liquid. It is one of the main ingredients, and is used as a sweetener in the food industry and things like toothpastes etc. Also, propylene glycol is in it and is quite sweet. It could definitely be raising your blood sugars if you vape loads.
