    First A1C test came back!

    Hi! My doctor diagnosed me using a fasting blood test. She used the glucose number and the insulin number. She did not take an HBA1C to begin with and it kind of discouraged me because I don't know where I started. Yes I have cut my sugars and carbs down dramatically. I pretty much stay away...

    Keto and BS question
