[QUOTE="VashtiB, post: 2294018, member: 511345"] I'd have to agree that the HbA1c test does seem to mean that you are diabetic. You say that you average less than 80 carbs a day- it may be that that is the set spot for your body. 80 grams is still a lot lower than the average diet so you may be fortunate and be able to tolerate 80 grams a day. I haven't tested my limits and keeping it very low carb. Had a bit more than usual this last week- my birthday- combined with another injury that meant I wasn't walking- put on a couple of kgs. I'm assuming at least some of that is water ue to the increased carbs but now back to the low carbs. When I have lost all the weight I want I might experiment with more carbs but my fear is the carb creep and also whether that will increase the cravings. Also I'm not sure even doubling my current amount whether that would allow any of the foods I miss- probably not in which case why bother. My advice for what it is worth is that lowering carbs won't hurt your body but high blood sugar levels might. [/QUOTE]
