I just received the results from my recent HBA1C test, and I'm a bit puzzled by the outcome. Yesterday, I got tested privately with a 24-hour turnaround time, and my score came back as 30, which translates to 4.90% ! This time last year, my HBA1C was 94, and just 8 weeks ago, it was around 46...

What is the view or position on Cheat Meals. For those that are type 1 and type 2, notionally am I to assume that these are off the books until Blood Glucose levels are in the Normal range?

I am a newbie, so go easy on me please :) I have had my first few Night Hypos which I found to be terrifying. I do not monitor my blood but recognised the symptoms ( high HR, Numb lips etc) so quickly ate some sweets and plums and banana and calmed myself down within 10 minutes but really...
