I have a question?? Just so as you know, I am not asking for assitance in tweaking my low carb diet. I am just generally asking how A1C works. Here is goes
----A dieter, who went from 2000 calories a day to 1500 calories a day in 3 months, slowly lost 10 pounds. Remaining at 1500 calories a day for every, the dieter could pretty well be the same weight, give or take a little. If she/he wanted to loose more weight, he'd have to go down lower in calories..
----Now, compare this to an A1C............. If someone having a 100 carbs a day, dropped from A1C 5.9 to 5.7, and continued on with the same low carb diet forever, would the A1C slowly go down, or would it remain at 5.7, give or take a little? Or, like the diet, would they have to lower the carbs to go down?
How do the A1C work?
Thanks
