HB1ac

I fell off the low carb wagon..for about 2 months. I've been back doing lowcarb for 6 weeks. I had reversed my a1c from 53 to 33. I had an a1c done yesterday and due to get results tomorrow.
My question is, is 6 week long enough to make a difference to my a1c?

When I did my original one back in 2008 I did it in 6 weeks. Can be done. Saying now it just seems a bit tougher as more weight to lose etc.
Good Luck

I know it is easily done. I just can't do it all the time either.You will find out tomorrow if it has made a different.

It's enough time to make a difference, but whether it was enough time to make a full difference? Who knows.
Hba1c covers 3 months, but is weighted towards the last few weeks so you may be lucky.
BUT rather than roller coasters of off/on with what you eat, try looking at why you eat rather then what you eat.
