    Why no accurate a1c test for home use?

    The a1c test kits that are available are not so accurate. It would be great if there was home tests, especially for those who control their D2 via diet. Wouldn't diabetics benefit from that? I see no future devices being planned?

    Egg protein powder

    I wonder if anyone has information on whether protein powder made from eggwhites is ok for diabetics (type 2)? I guess it must be better than milk based protein powders? Because it's just eggs?

    Low carb?

    How many of you who are in remission eat beans/lentils/legumes? Oatmeal? Root vegetables? How many units of raising on glucose meter is acceptable after 1 - 1,5 hour? It should go back to original after 2 hours? Do you eat LCHF or low carb? Thanks for helping!

    Those of you who are in remission, what's your a1c & what do you eat?

    I ate a lot of sugar prior to getting my diagnosis of T2. I am also 25 kg overweight. I wonder if remission would ever put me in a position of tolerating carbs again, albeit in lower amounts? Like eg fruits occasionally, oat porridge, proteinbread etc? Right now I'm low carb. Pretty much LCHF...

    What dictates the magnitude of your A1c?

    Is it the number of carbs alone or also the number of times you eat that can affect your a1c negatively? I think going omad is a bit extreme for me in the long run, but two (or three) meals would be ok. However, I need to get my a1c down a bit and willing to reduce my intake frequency if it...

    I never feel full?

    I feel hungry all the time! After I eat, let's say after an hour I could eat again. Anyone experienced this? Any tips? Does this have to do with insulinresistance (I'm type 2 diabetic)? How many hours between meals is ideal? I sip on herbal and fruit tea all the time now to curb my urge to...
