[QUOTE="JoKalsbeek, post: 2214473, member: 401801"] The HbA1c is an average of the past 3 months... These past 3 weeks make a dent, most likely, so odds are you were higher before that. Also, it's entirely dependent on the carbs in the shakes too... Calories are nice and all, but they make no difference in blood glucose: carbs do. So you want to check the content of the shakes. Maybe have a read here too: [URL]https://josekalsbeek.blogspot.com/2019/11/the-nutritional-thingy.html[/URL] (my own little quick-start-guide). All in all, do NOT let ANYBODY get you down. It's your health, you're trying your best to get this thing licked, and no-one gets to judge you. Especially not someone who hasn't walked so much as an inch in your shoes. Being a T2 is hard. And while there are sort-of fixes, they're not going to show up in your bloods practically overnight. They can't ask the impossible of you. You keep at it, ask questions when you have them, and do NOT give up. You can do this, you ARE doing this, and they don't get to sit in judgement. They just don't. HUGS, Jo, PO on your behalf.
