[QUOTE="Robbity, post: 577337, member: 93179"] I personally would always eat to my meter, as HbA1c results are just [B]averages[/B] - they don't tell you whether those averages are made up of fairly steady BG or dramatic and harmful highs and lows cancelling each other out - or somewhere in between... You meter is (just!) a [B]tool[/B] [I]not [/I]your [B]ruler,[/B] so if you want to "eat naughty" occasionally, there's nothing really to stop you. [B]It's your decision,[/B] [B]not the meter's[/B], whether you indulge or not, and it's just there a guide to the harm or otherwise your choice of food may be doing you. Robbity [/QUOTE]
