[QUOTE="Resurgam, post: 2103044, member: 355878"] If you get shaky when you need food, is that due to your blood glucose dropping low? If so that might indicate reactive hypoglycemia - if you react by eating high carb foods you could get into a 'ping pong' situation where you are going through the same cycle of reaction to how you act, rather than calming down the response by carb reduction overall. The low levels could then mean that your Hba1c looks fine because it is an average - the average of 49 and 51 is 50, but it is also the average of 40 and 60, 30 and 70 and 99 and 1 - so you might be having wild swings, but it is not shown by a Hba1c test.
