Just got my latest reading and its 41 so 5.9% which is the lowest i have been three months ago it was 49 6.6% the diabetic nurse says it is too low and needs to be higher? However i have cut most carbs out, lost weight and have been using less insulin than before.

thats a great result. As long as your not having regular hypos it is not too low. Great achievement.

Thanks I do hypo when I overdo things but its not all the time. Can't believe how just last year it was 12.5% to have come down so much.

try and remember to have a snack if being busier than usual, or if its planned shortly after a mel reduce qa. Hopefully you'll soon learn how much carbs or how much less insulin you need for your activity without affecting your hba1c.

Like brett says, if the low hba1c isn't caused by hypos, then you're doing very well.
