[QUOTE="Shannon27, post: 2210100, member: 429571"] To be honest with you, that's not bad at all for me! Been diabetic for nearly 20 years, since i was 4/5, and for the last couple of years my a1c has hovered around 70. This is due to overall laziness, bad control and a lack of motivation. Turning this around now, but remember low carb isn't the answer for everyone :) it all depends how you manage the carb intake - my readings have been great this week and i'm still on carbs! Pretty high carb if i'm honest :p so don't be discouraged - i know an increase makes you feel like you've failed but you really are doing amazing! :) I am starting a low carb diet next week just because i want to eat better, nothing to do with my diabetes. Some of the recipes look amazing! And weight loss would be a plus :) i'll be managing the diabetes side with the carbs and cals app, have you come across it? It's ace for carb counting and figuring out how much insulin you need :) [/QUOTE]
