HbA1c as I understand is the count of red blood cells which have a shelf life of roughly 3 months and are higher when BG is higher their population tends to increase and hence higher HbA1c results are bad... so if you have severe blood loss due to injury you can have a a HbA1c showing lesser...

The most important lever is the food you eat. Exercise helps but isn't the most important and in fact heavy workouts will cause spike in everyone (non-diabetics included). This is because when we exercise, multiple things happen at the same time. For one - exercising makes the body burn energy...

Like others have also mentioned, lower average is a good thing but a straight line is more important. As diabetics we are very susceptible to a bizarre graph with significant spikes making the 24 hours BG graph look like a sine wave and while that could mean a low average it will cause far more...

The breads with this recipe are so so good... I have tried a few combinations over the last several days oñ my eating days with no spike in my BG after eating it and it is very filling so I don't run the risk of overeating too.... its so good that it just feels too good to be true... does...

I agree with @jjraak and would just add one more suggestion. If its possible and affordable, invest in Freestyle Libre so you can see trends for your blood glucose levels against food you eat and after training. It will help you make informed choices and HbA1c results will also be less of a...

I am so sorry to hear of your struggles. Rise in sugar just with coffee and eggs is very puzzling because that combination does not have any carbs unless you add sugar to your coffee which am sure you don't. Though, I will say this, if you follow alternate day fasting and switch to low carb...

Looking at your profile I take it you have been around on the forum long enough to know staying low carb helps. Are you having these numbers despite being on a low carb diet? Have you tried intermittent fasting? I ask this because the kind of numbers along with following all advise from doctors...

Well when we exercise the blood glucose does go high because brain sends signal to Liver asking for more energy... now that signal does vary based on an individual's normal activity level and brain will send such signal only when the threshold is met and that threshold will be fairly high for...

I finished a 6 day fasting on Thursday and my BG was 3.9 and Ketone level was 3.... I do think 20 is way too high. I would recommend not to jump into longer fasting suddenly but instead build up slowly... start with alternate day fasting for a month and throw in 2 and 3 day fasts every now and...

Thanks for sharing this. I tried this yesterday as is and today with some modifications and both times it has turned out so good...the one baked today I havent tried as its my fasting day but my wife and daughter loved it... i also made a flatbread and a pitta bread with two of the rolls and...

I have uploaded the pdf again and updated the link so hopefully that should help if anyone were to stumble upon this post. :)

Hi everyone - I am sorry I am not very regular on forum these days and saw this only now. I can see indeed that the link to the document I shared have disappeared. I will attach it again on my profile post and it can be accessed here (will download the pdf directly). Hopefully that will help...

5.4 at 6AM after 36 hours mark... should get lower still at 60 hours mark tomorrow. Although at the moment true to my regular trends its hovering at 6.9 and heading downwards... Forgot to mention but meant to tell all that this is part of the new experiment with roasted edamame beans on...

We have to be naughty every now and then otherwise where is the thrill, eh!!

4.3 at 6AM, in line with 36 hours mark. Eating day today and I can feel some of my culinary juices flowing.... we shall see. Have a great Sunday everyone. :)

If i were facing similar situation and would have had all other variable equal my prime suspect would be some sort of infection / fever , cold cough and such that body might be fighting with... it could also be some kind of stress or poor sleep overnight but that won't cause consistently higher...

5.9 at 6AM after eating day This my friend is the holy grail... this link can help with the "nerding out" aspect. Have a great weekend everyone. :)
