[QUOTE="Claire007, post: 985967, member: 184290"] [USER=30007]@tim2000s[/USER] From the handbook 'We believe the best hba1c is between 45 and 55' But the 'in range' starts from 42. I had a very positive experience, even as a low carber. I ate fairly low carb before I was diagnosed earlier this year so I wasn't about to change. My hba1c was below dafne target @ 40, I wasn't asked to raise it. (Even though I suspected they would) Some people found the course very hard, had very little understanding, and made some very dangerous decisions while on the course. One guy gave himself twelve units of insulin to correct a pre bed BG reading of 12, then 'felt hypo' didn't test, ate a banana and went back to sleep :***: This was the night following a whole afternoons session on hypos, how to treat and importance of testing. The course leaders honestly had the patience of saints. On the last day someone else had about half a pint of fresh orange with her lunch and 'didn't realise it would contain sugar' so didn't bonus for it :banghead: The course is intense but they really need to consider some pre course learning for people who haven't carb counted before ( or don't ever test their BG) [/QUOTE]
