Guest, we'd love to know what you think about the forum! Take the Diabetes Forum Survey 2025 »

Message: <blockquote data-quote="KennyA" data-source="post: 2759491" data-attributes="member: 517579">The difference between 47 and 48 is negligible in practice because it's within acceptable testing error.  Don't worry about that for now  given you have months before your next test.What worked for me (in a similar situation to you) was greatly reducing carb intake.  I went from HbA1cs of 50 (Sept 2019) and 49 (January 2020) to 36 in April 2020.  I'd started a ~20g carb/day regime on 9 December 2019. Weight loss followed, some time later, over the next couple of years. I didn't start exercising until I'd lost enough weight to do so without risking injury. So,in short, what worked for me was serious low carb on its own.  Not just reducing carb, but almost eliminating carb as part of my diet. The only carb I eat comes/came from veg, which went alongside meat/dairy as what I ate. I don't think there are any "miracle" additions to diet that will "reduce blood sugars" as frequently promised on social media.  So I don't see apple cider vinegar etc as essential or even recommended. It's more about what you don't eat. Of course people will try to sell you stuff that promises you don't have to do anything other than pay for and use their product. In over five years on this forum, I have never seen anyone come back on on one of these miracle solutions with any evidence of success. That ought to indicate something.</blockquote>
