[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 1355002, member: 94045"] Your HbA1c of 8.9 is equivalent to an average of 11.6mmol/l . This means your blood glucose is running high much of the time and may be causing you damage. The UK guidelines say we shouldn't go above 8.5mmol/l at any time, so you are well above that. You are also on Gliclazide, so your levels should be a lot lower than they are. It's your choice, but if you don't reduce your snacking and cut those carbs your levels won't come down. Instead of sandwiches for snacks, try cheese, boiled eggs, tomatoes, cold meats, nuts, salads. Do you test your own levels with a meter. If so, the meter will tell you which foods you should cut back on. [/QUOTE]
