Message: <blockquote data-quote="Andrew S" data-source="post: 708239" data-attributes="member: 52728">This may be wrong, but a blog I read after diagnosis explained BG vs HbA1c something like1 this. BG is a measure of (increased) glucose in the blood which can cause damage. HbA1c is a measure of the damage that has been caused.Even if this is not entirely true, I think it is a useful way to think about this. By the way, my GP told me October that I am "too well controlled" with an HbA1c of 36. My Metformin dose has been reduced from 1000mg to 500 mg per day.Without dragging the thread back to dietary matters too much, I am following roughly her guidelines on cutting down on carbs and "sweet treats" but I am not LCHF. I do a whole heap of exercise, and I think like Douglas, sometimes I do just need to eat for the energy! I am still not testing BG. I can't imagine I am having hypos but before my meds were reduced, I was getting quite ratty at times!</blockquote>
