Message: <blockquote data-quote="pollyr" data-source="post: 144567" data-attributes="member: 27547">HiWhen I was originally diagnosed as T2 7 yrs ago my SDN wanted my HBAC1.s to be below 7.5 - I wonder if that recommendation has now changed.  Mine averaged 6.6 with meds until I had pancreatitis 18 months ago.  Now on insulin they average 8.3 but I do have hypos too so not sure what the real figure is.  I am now careful with my diet and try and eat GI food but think I need to change the portions.  After my illness I was told to eat carbs with every meal. I was vastly under weight and have now slowly got back to my normal weight of 130 lbs.  Think now that I need to reduce the carbs.   I note on this thread that some people count carbs & calories, but I dont know how to do that.  Can someone give me some advice on this please.  It is all very new to me and am finding it a bit of a minefield.</blockquote>
