[QUOTE="Sam50, post: 1748004, member: 419035"] I can understand your worries relating to heart problems considering the family history but diabetes is only one risk factor when it comes to CVD. Other issues ( as I'm sure you know) are weight, BP, smoking, high cholesterol etc and many heart attacks/stokes are triggered by stress. Your HbA1C is very good !! I can understand why your GP didn't want to prescribe Metformin initially. It sounds like you follow a very healthy LC mode of eating already. We all have our own personal levels, what is 'normal' for us as individuals and people are far more than merely a set of numbers. Stressing about lowering an already good HbA1C might prevent it going any lower.....(and does it need to ?) Out of curiosity I tested myself (obviously on a fresh lancet) to see what my BG was as a non-diabetic, fasting was 3.5 )liver dump and all that) and after eating 2.9....on the day I experimented. According to current research that lower than normal and maybe I should eat more chocolate:happy: Good luck for your next HbA1C- I think you are doing great xx [/QUOTE]
