[QUOTE="Resurgam, post: 1600438, member: 355878"] As you eat plenty of carbohydrates then I would expect that your inability to cope with them will result in your HBa1c rising year on year, as your doctor predicted, unless you can change how you are eating. If you can reduce the amount of carbs to what you can cope with then there is a good chance that your diabetes will not progress. My own experience has been that my Hba1c dropped like a stone when I cut down on the amount of high carbohydrate foods I ate, and I now stick to under 60gm of carbs per day in order to maintain normal results from blood glucose and Hba1c. I checked which foods I could eat without spiking my blood glucose using a testing meter, there are some which are quite inexpensive to use - it is the cost of strips which makes the difference. By increasing the amounts of protein and fats you eat, in order to compensate for fewer carbs you would not lose weight. [/QUOTE]
