[QUOTE="Resurgam, post: 1614316, member: 355878"] There are quite a few people on the forum who are not in the diabetic range of Hba1c - which I assume is what your results are - because they have cut down on the amount of carbohydrate they eat so as to get their blood glucose levels to drop. Some are taking medication and some are not either because they chose not to , or they had bad reactions to tablets prescribed. The advice to cut down on sugar is only half the story - all carbohydrate turns to sugars when digested, so starchy foods such as bread or potatoes, grains such as rice, fruit and vegetables such as banana or parsnips all crank up your blood glucose. That is seen in the Hba1c results, and high levels can mean unpleasant consequences. You can go on eating things similar to your present diet - but altering the carb content, either reducing it or substituting lower carb foods. I will tag our [USER=25759]@daisy1[/USER] as she has a useful and informative article about diet, but when you have read it, task any question - there are people with lots of experience. [/QUOTE]
