[QUOTE="ZoeinKent, post: 2440418, member: 542191"] Hi [USER=548655]@EmDellit[/USER], I've just had something very similar happen. I was borderline prediabetic with an HbA1c of 41 (5.9). In three months I got it down to 31 (5.0) by eating around 50-60g of carbs a day (no rice, pasta or potatoes, and only low-carb bread) and running. However, I couldn't stop losing weight, so added in a few more carbs at the advice of a dietician, in the form of three Ryvita with peanut butter. This brought my daily carb total up to about 85g. Unfortunately, three months later my HbA1c had risen to 37 (5.5)! This seemed to me a huge difference for an extra 25g or so of carbs. I also noticed my blood glucose was staying elevated for several hours after eating, rather than falling as normal. I've now cut out the Ryvita, and hope to see my levels return to normal again. It's a constant balancing act, isn't it! [/QUOTE]
