[QUOTE="borofergie, post: 205972, member: 33342"] I'm in a similar position. I managed to reduce my HbA1c of 10.2% at diagnosis to 5.2% after 3 months, by seriously low-carbing. My Doctor's response was "that's truely phenomenal, if you do it again in 3 months, we'll take you off Metformin." This seems like a bit of a trap for low-carbers, it almost dooms me to a higher HbA1c; there aren't an awful lot of carbs to cut out of my diet. I've heard of other people who have "carbed up" for a couple of weeks before the test, to elevate their A1C levels, but we really shouldn't have to resort to deception in order to keep our HbA1c levels "normal".
