[QUOTE="davd, post: 2384750, member: 523478"] HbA1c of 50 is only just above prediabetes which is 42 to 48 , converted to finger prick testing to 8.1 so not much reduction yet . Testing first thing in morning after getting up is not the best reading due to dawn phenomenon, it’s best to leave first test till about 2 hours after getting out of bed before eating. Dawn phenomenon is when your liver dumps glucose into your blood overnight. Are you on any medication, metformin reduces the liver dump but can cause some bowl irritation. I take minimum dose of extended release version and have gradually got used to it . I also eat more carbs than 30 and have got my levels down but maybe 1 month is not long enough to judge if diet is working yet . I have been a member for just less than a year and this forum has been a great help. Good luck and keep it up [/QUOTE]
