My last two HBa1C three monthly readings have hovered around 6% after achieving a low of 5.5% a year ago. So I'm back to monitoring every day logging of total carb consumption. I thought I understood % carbs in everyday food but after more reading I find it now somewhat confusing. For example...

Last two HbA1c readings were 5.7, 5.9 down from 6.7 a year ago. So the LCHF diet has been good for me. :) However bread and/or pasta substitutes just don't cut the mustard. I can get by with the soya based pasta but I haven't found a LCHF bread recipe that works. I'm no Masterchef but manage...

Bit of a shock to the system. Doc says some figure, not HbaC1, of 6.8 is up from 6.1 three months ago makes me potential Type 2. I did some googling and became conpuzzled with diferent quantities of blood sugar, mmol/L, plasma, HbaC1 & ...? I understand something about HbaC1 after googling...
