[QUOTE="mrman, post: 398814, member: 40510"] In your case I don't think hba1c results are a good indicator for recent levels. Probably going to get lots of comments now but I would try having a normal healthy diet including carbs top get an accurate picture. Obviously not east oads of carbs just what you would of previous. Test regular then you will have a good idea of how your body handles the carbs. I say that as if someone is being treated for eg gluten intollerance they are told to eat gluten as normal until they have the test, otherwise it would invalidate the test. if you have been eating low carb it will be essentially giving a false hba1c. If you find your levels are continually high then you and your consultant would know you require insulin unless you can continue to eat low carb for the forseable future. If you want to carry on low carbing after being given insulin you can do so and reduce your insulin but have the option for non low carb days as you could give extra insulin. Hope that makes sense to you lol Sent from my GT-S5360 using DCUK Forum mobile app [/QUOTE]
