[QUOTE="Mr_Pot, post: 2048692, member: 216415"] It is a balancing act between the carbs you are consuming on one side and your insulin resistance and the amount of insulin you can produce on the other. If you were to find that 100g of carbs a day results in a satisfactory HbA1c then you would need to continue at that level to maintain it. Over time your insulin resistance and possibly your insulin production could change in which case you would need to adjust your carb intake to achieve a satisfactory HbA1c again. There is a limiting factor in reducing HbA1c in that if you have very low carb intake your liver will make glucose to keep your blood sugar in range. [/QUOTE]
