[QUOTE="Jenny15, post: 1800972, member: 196992"] Thanks for posting again to give us more info about your needs. I note you said this today (below): "I have balanced my BG now which has remained between 4.2 & 7 consistently. In other words, the lack of carbs was increasing my pre meal and morning BG, it’s resolved now and carbs no longer are making me feel ill" This is great news and if you can keep your BGs in this range long term, your HbA1c will likely drop right out of the T2 diabetic range and even lower. I call this remission not reversal, but at this forum we devote entire threads to quibbling over the words, lol. Suggestions were given in this thread about next steps for thyroid and liver issues. How are you getting on now with those two issues? I hope your nurse/doctor will send you for an HbA1c test 3 months after your previous one of 56. If later on they reduce the intervals between A1c tests you will need to at least do a fasting BG test at home once every 3 months. I wish I had. You said below that you have no intention of losing weight. If you were already in the healthy weight range (18-25 BMI) when your A1c was 56, you might need some further tests but I couldn't say without knowing more. If you had a bit to lose, then the same eating changes that are getting your BGs down will probably help with that, without even trying, which is a nice bonus. So, it's good news all round so far on the diabetes front. [/QUOTE]
