    HBA1C testing and health anxiety

    you do not need to be talking about diets and foods you need to be talking about managing your anxiety. Can I suggest you find a local Mindfulness class. It really works at controlling life's anxieties. Your figures are fine. Your worrying is not.

    Breakfast Cereals

    So do you test yourself to find out how low you are???? Have you thought about maybe pushing your levels up before you go to bed??? Do you think your diet takes into account you exercise????

    Just so I understand. You wake up test and find you are Hypo. Or you wake up feeling hungry. Not being critical just trying to understand.

    Low carb? Totally confused

    Clearly you dont understand we are trying to simplify the debate. It is easy to over complicate what we eat. Keep it simple and take the BS away and its just a balance. Then new people dont get confused and find a way forward that works for them.
