[QUOTE="MaxineKL, post: 1858854, member: 307079"] Fascinating conversation. I had very similar results after a HbA1c reading of 6.1% 2 years ago. Lost 18 lb on low carb-high healthy fat, but after a couple of months, my FBS was unchanged, in low 6s. So I started walking a minumim of 10,000 steps a day, and immediately started seeing FBS is 5s and even 4s. HbA1c has remained between 5.5 and 5.8 percent, despite the odd "cheat" and I know that a large serving of carbs (esp white rice, bread, most noodles ...) Can spike as high as 11 or 12 an hour after eating it. I'm fortunate in that my cholesterol is fine (including total) so I enjoy a lot of virgin coconut oil and butter, which help me control carb cravings. Fiber helps too (on psyllium at least 2 heaping Tbsp/day for IBS) including raw carrots. So far so good....
