    HbA1c 61

    KK, that is my problem, I realise going onto Insulin could be dramatic & have many aspects that impact life to a negative degree. Your words sum up my fears!! But what level of Hba1c is the point where Insulin is suggested?

    HbA1c 61

    Because I could not stick to a low carb diet. So would the Medics suggest insulin with a Hba1c of 61?

    Change in Medication/Early Morning Suger Dump

    Please I'm not asking for advise on dosage of medication. I'm asking for advise on timing. With a sugar dump, would it be best to take the Alogliptin in morning/lunch time/evening? My diet has not changed but my latest Hba1c figure has increased to 68

    "The Truth About Carbs"?

    Perhaps, like a lot of people, they can't accept the truth. But again it's harder when one is working alone & not on a very controlled trial. One should also think of the other parties in a marriage, my wife at times says " I try so hard to give you the correct food & your BS goes up". Diabetes...
