[QUOTE="Deano72, post: 2081621, member: 499236"] Been scouring the internet for info on these questions, but can’t find answers... So, my hba1c from a test at the end of May was 35, which I’m over the moon with. However, for the past month or two I’m seeing different results from my own testing to what I’ve been used to. On a positive note my pp spikes rarely exceed 1 point & are generally in the range of the high 5’s to the mid 6’s (touching 7 after a treat). But on the flip side my fasting tests are almost always around 6 (5.7 - 6.4) over the last couple of weeks. Now I understand there’s a margin of error built in to the test kit, but I’m seeing these numbers consistently. My diet is still evolving, but generally taking in around 2000 calories a day & rarely exceed 100g of carbs (spread evenly & very few of the simple form). My exercise regime is pretty good - daily walking &/or cycling) and my weight is stable at around 14 stone 10 +/- about 4lb (over 5 stone down from diagnosis 8 months ago). It’s coming up 4 months since I finished the Newcastle Diet. Am I seeing the reverse of a temporary benefit from said diet? How important is a slightly elevated fasting BG when everything else looks okay? If anyone has experienced similar, or can point me towards any possible answers I’d appreciate your comments. Thanks... [/QUOTE]
