[QUOTE="Ronancastled, post: 2383122, member: 517232"] Big congrats btw. I've often wondered if there's a simple formula to all this. If 20 is bottom baseline in A1c & 48 is the diagnostic point, a span of 28 points, then someone like our poster above has exceeded the cutoff by 56-48 = 8 then 8/28= 28.5%. If they then reduce their carb intake by the same 28.5% should they expect to be back at 48. Or put another way they need to reduce their A1c by 48/56=0.86 so 14%. No, that's wrong cause 20 = Zero so it's more like (48-20)/(56-20)=0.78 so 22% It's too early in the morning for my rambling bad maths. I know this is far too simple & so many factors at play but I wonder if there's a direct correlation. [/QUOTE]
