[QUOTE="maxell, post: 394792, member: 23189"] 9 isn't good at all. I mean, that will get you on the road to diabetic complications. I know some diabetics with well-controlled A1c with complications. Some with 5.7 A1c's still have diabetic neuropathy! According to Dr. Bernstein, the really ideal A1c is 4.1 to 4.5 or so. I don't think diabetics can achieve that unless we get ourselves on his 12-12-6 carbs diet. But most t2 diabetics with good remaining beta cells can do 5.1-5.7, if they limit carbs to about 100-150 grams per day. I do 100-150g and fall within that range with no problem. [/QUOTE]
