[QUOTE="jjraak, post: 2490338, member: 493719"] Hi If you are measuring in morning ( FBG ) And going LCHF as I did. Then I'd suggest it would be over the month . I'd start each week say at FBG 10 Seconds week I'd get the odd 9. By week 3 they'd be even. At week it would be more 9's on average. Then begin all over again. Start week 5 all 9's...... It took me from Oct to Jan to come down from a 58 HBA1c back to a 42 HBA1c, so around 12 Weeks (think test was early Jan) And the descent down in HBA1c probably stabilised in and around Xmas at mid 5's Bear in mind how individual we are, and some came down from much higher HBA1c in a similar time frame I believe, from what I have read, the body, is reluctant to drop our BG levels, thinking the intended sugar drop is an error of some sorts So fights to keep us as high as normal, until we sort ourselves out ..AKA by eating as before. Once it recognises factors have changed, it then permits a drop down, once it sees we are managing with less sugar/carbs. It's a stubborn guardian of our survival. Usually a friend but sometimes our biggest foe. Good luck on your journey [USER=552879]@Karoline[/USER] [/QUOTE]
