[QUOTE="JoKalsbeek, post: 2073046, member: 401801"] Cut carbs. Do you have any idea when the op can be resceduled? You can get your numbers down quite fast, but the HbA1C is an average of 3 months... If you get perfect bloodsugars, it'll take a little while for them to show up in the HbA1c. In any case, if you want to get your bloodsugars down, cutting carbs is usually the answer. No bread, pasta, spuds, rice, corn, cereal, fruit (except for maybe a few berries). Stick with meat, fish, poultry, above-ground veggies/leafy greens, eggs, clotted cream, double cream, full fat greek yoghurt, cheese, olives, extra dark chocolate (85% or more), that sort of thing. It's a little more detailed here: [URL]https://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/blog-entry/the-nutritional-thingy.2330/[/URL] , over on Dietdoctor.com and in Dr. Jason Fung's The Diabetes Code. It does sound a little like the HbA1c was a surprise to you. Did you know you were diabetic, or was this an out-of-the-blue diagnosis? Are you on any bloodglucose-lowering medication, because cutting carbs will make your bloodsugars drop like a stone, and I wouldn't want you to hypo. Metformin is fine, but gliclazide and the like could be problematic. Welcome to the forum, hope we'll be able to help! Jo [/QUOTE]
