I still haven't got into the 4 % club, last HB1AC was 5% so getting very close. I attempt to keep my blood sugar under 5.5 Mmol at all times, with the odd blip here and there <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />  Post meal readings of 7.8 mmol , as you mention in your profile, would be totally unacceptable to me. I exercise strenuously every day by cycling, running or weight lifting.  One of the key points Bernstein states is to keep your blood sugar flat lining, i.e. no big post meal spikes. In fact he mentions that after a meal your blood sugar should not rise by more than 10 mg/dl. This only achievable, in my experience, by very low carb (around 30 grams per day) and exercise.   Good luck.</blockquote>
