[QUOTE="davd, post: 2294088, member: 523478"] Thanks for replies everyone I was due this week for my next HbA1c test but with doctor taking me off Glimepiride and putting me on metformin at end of June she has put the HbA1c test back to end of September so she could see the results from the metformin and not been clouded by the Glimepiride. To be honest I went a week with no medication as it had run out and forgot to reorder before weekend and still tested every day and there was very little difference in BG readings to when taking medication. Have been testing 2 or 3 times a day and just for something to do i added them all together and divided by the number of tests about 130 and the result came to an average of 5.9 which if converted would give me an HbA1c of 34 . I know that may not be accurate but it gives me an idea of what I could be. Coors light is not has high as some beers but still about 10 carbs a pint so I had 80 carbs in beer yesterday with what I had to eat as well I consumed about 130 carbs well above what I normally have but still got reading of 5.6 , So I could be able to tolerate certain carbs more than others. Besides knocking the Port on the head I also used to use Coffeemate in my coffee which is nearly all glucose now I just use cream , so a massive reduction in sugar and carbs to what I used to have . I will wait for next HbA1c [/QUOTE]
