[QUOTE="Chez31, post: 1858867, member: 469976"] Well, I have been having a read. Apparently being hypothyroid can falsley raise your HbA1c results due to your red cells living longer.. I have been hypothyroid for over 10 years. My gp has messed around with my treatment dose of thyroxine this last year after my cancer and reduced it quite a bit. Wondering if it has been reduced a little too much and perhaps I'm now a little hypothyroid again?? That might explain the discrepancy between my normal.. ish monitor readings and those suggested by my HbA1c readings??? I'm probably grasping at straws here. Still doesn't explain why my HbA1c didn't drop after4 months on lo carb and 10%+weight loss though. PS. Been doing a few carb challenges in last week. Sandwiches , Eccles cakes etc . Peak BG is around 8 to 8.5 inside first hour then back down to 7 or less at 2 hours so nothing drastic happening yet. Fasting currently 5.3 at its best 6 at its worst...possibly after using dodgy soap with honey ! Lol [/QUOTE]
