Message: <blockquote data-quote="Ricmel" data-source="post: 2579888" data-attributes="member: 546131">When diagnosed my HbA1c was 93 and I weighed 117kgs. I lost 30kgs 3 years ago and have kept it off. Changed my diet to relatively low carb (I log all my food) and my average daily carb intake over last 3 years is 105 gms.My 3 HbA1c readings since have been 41, 39 and 37. My daily readings range between 5.5 and 6.5 very occasionally 7+. I have never been on meds.So I guess by definition I am in remission and the occasional high carb meal does not seem to move the dial too much. BUT - I do a lot of exercise, I strictly control my portion sizes and my carb intake is mostly whole carbs. I know if I eased off my BS would very quickly head in the wrong direction and I accept that if I want to keep my BS under some control I have to maintain this discipline for as long as possible.</blockquote>
