Message: <blockquote data-quote="iHs" data-source="post: 424678" data-attributes="member: 8799">For insulin users aiming to achieve an hba1c of 6.5% usually means having some low bg levels  which may or may not require some form of fasting acting glucose type sweets or glucose tabs  The only way to possibly achieve this hba1c might be to eat very low GI foods or eating a lower carb diet or possibly bolusing insulin about 20mins before eating so that the rise up in bg levels is not too high.I always find that keeping my hba1c between 6.5 - 7.1% usually gets rid of background retinopathy and also ensures that I don't have any lows that would require me to sit down and take some glucose.A must do is test bg levels a lot more and alter the insulin or the carb in food so that good results can be achieved.</blockquote>
