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.
