[QUOTE="Pipp, post: 2391826, member: 100904"] Until very recently I found that despite best efforts at low carb, and with metformin, I tend to maintain, or sometimes slowly gain weight. For a couple of years I have had HbA1c in pre-diabetic range. This was after several years in non-diabetes range. A shock last year was HbA1c of 51. My solution was to reduce calorie intake as well as keeping to less than 60 g of carbs a day, plus some fasting. Carbs come mainly from vegetables. Last month HbA1c was 41. I believe my difficulty maintaining low BG levels is due to excess weight, which I cannot seem to shed like some folks do with a LCHF diet. Of course, there would be other variables to consider when making comparison with others, such as age, gender, level of activity, for example. Also, length of time since diagnosis, (I was diagnosed T2 16 years ago) and other health conditions and medications could impact. [/QUOTE]
