My DN and doctor were not happy with my last HBA1C reading of 49 which was down from 60 so are insisting I have to have another HBA1C 2 weeks after the last one. Both think increased medication is the answer to everything so I have been on LCHF diet for past 2 weeks. I have not lost weight but have previously lost 3.5 stone. All was going well readings much better than expected except this morning of 8.5. I had chicken breast and salad for meal at 7.30pm. My readings have always been higher in the mornings but why so high this morning and how do I stop it happening. I am on 1Metformin SR 1000mg am and pm. I have the next blood test tomorrow and dreading going for the results.
