Previous reading were in the range of 39-41 over the last 3 years. Since Feb I have been trying to take some corrective actions. To help with that I have been using Libre 2 over the last 10 days. Current snapshot shows:Using 3.7-7.8 range - in the range is 95% and above range 5% Using AGP standard - in the range is 100%Average Glucose: 5.3 mmol/LGlucose Management Indicator (GMI): 5.6% or 38 mmol/molGlucose Variability: 14.2%Things I am trying- lose weight - my BMI was always below 25. But trying to reduce weight further, especially abdominal fat - have lost 4 kg in last 5 weeks. So now the BMI is 23. Will aim to lose 3 more kgs to bring my BMI to 22.- reducing carbs - I notice spikes after consuming fruits/fruit juice - so reducing the quantity and also being selective on which fruits I eat- intermittent fasting - limited window for eating, avoid snacking, trying alternate day 18-24 hrs fasts- regular exercise - an hour in the gym 3 times per week and walking every day for 40-50 minIs there anything else I should be trying? When should do the next blood test to see if these changes are working in reducing HbA1C level?</blockquote>
