Message: <blockquote data-quote="ianf0ster" data-source="post: 2633752" data-attributes="member: 506169">HbA1C is the equivalent of a 3 month average of your Blood Glucose levels.  I don't want to say that major changes can't be made quite quickly, but Diabetes develops over years and even decades. So although you can be on your way to 'fixing it' it isn't possible to have fixed it in a month.For people with really high numbers it isn't even advisable to reduce blood glucose too fast - for example vision changes with higher or lower blood glucose, so too rapid a change can leave people needing temporary reading glasses.To be in remission you need more than just a single HbA1C at lower levels, you have to be able to keep it there over the months. Then you want to stay in 'remission' for years and decades.  So calm down and think long term!T2 Diabetes for many of us was a gift, because we are happier and healthier than we had been for years. In many cases Low Carb 'cured' many illnesses and conditions from obesity, high blood pressure, to joint problems and skin conditions - even depression.</blockquote>
