Hi
once you start on a strict low carb diet, what are people's experiences about how long it takes to get blood sugars down please.
I am aged 56, not overweight, and just got a 66 Hba1C.
thanks
It depends what you mean by "blood sugars". Do you mean the HbA1c test, or do you mean the morning fasting levels, or do you mean the levels post meal?
It takes as long as it takes, to be honest. Everyone is different. We have different medications, eat different amounts of carbs, have different pancreas functions and other things. What none of us can do is compare ourselves with others. We should just self test and record the results, watching for (hopefully) downward trends.
Personally I was down to pre-diabetic levels 5 months after diagnosis, (2 months after starting to use a meter)
