[QUOTE="fergus, post: 51846, member: 6150"] Hi Shaun, I'm afraid your clinic sounds a bit out of touch. 6-8% is below average in the UK (9%) but a lot higher than a healthy non-diabetic HbA1c (somewhere between 4-5%). To be honest, my clinic was much the same - I still have copies of my blood test results with the doctor's handwritten notes "good diabetic control" next to my HbA1c of 7.6%. Both my results and the doctor's comment were rubbish! It sounds as if your diet has a lot of carbohydrate in it. Your blood sugars will always be elevated as a result. Can I ask why you only use insulin before breakfast and dinner? With carbs at lunch and no insulin, your blood sugar will be at harmful levels all afternoon surely? I don't mean to criticise, but we do hear quite a few tales of seriously dodgy medical advice of the forum. All the best, fergus [/QUOTE]
