[QUOTE="grant32, post: 414039, member: 44980"] 12 months ago HbA1c was 9.1, today it was 7.1. I saw the diabetologist at hospital today who recommended not aiming for anything below that due to risk of too many hypos. I'm still determined to get it lower through more intensive monitoring, slowly reducing my carb intake, and increasing my exercise time. She seemed to think I had excellent control and didn't need to do anything else. When I asked about low carb diets, she said definitely not. I asked about exercise and was told not to do anything too strenuous, nothing more than walking!! That I find rather odd advice. 'm happy to research and make my own decisions, especially with the wealth of information on this forum. Apparently I was the most educated patient she had seen in weeks. [/QUOTE]
