Message: <blockquote data-quote="Impy" data-source="post: 2658850" data-attributes="member: 572253">hI [USER=582239]@Rushkami[/USER],I started out with a hba1c of 123.  It took about 3 months of low carbing before my post prandial (2 hours after eating) glucose meter readings were regularly under 10, so you are probably a little impatient (my latest hba1c was 38, so it does work)Have a look at [USER=401801]@JoKalsbeek[/USER] blog linked <a href="https://josekalsbeek.blogspot.com/2019/11/the-nutritional-thingy.html" target="_blank">here</a> which should help.For what it's worth my recommendation is to gradually reduce your daily carb intake until you can get down to about 50g per day.  That doesn't mean you have to starve, just replace the carb calories with healthy fats and protein.  Others have recommended various apps to monitor your intake, so I won't add any to that list.You're doing well and you will see progress at a reasonable rapid rate, so don't get frustrated if you levels aren't coming down as quickly as you might like.  You will get there in the end.PS you mentioned that you were taking metformin.  Have you been prescribed anything else as that will affect any advice that people on here can give to help?</blockquote>
