[QUOTE="pre-predb, post: 2481785, member: 545398"] That makes total sense, but I eat a low-carb diet and do a lot of exercise, and my Hba1c always hovers round 39-41 (and once went to 42). In the first lockdown - taking advantage of having total control of everything I are - I managed to lose half a stone by going even lower carb, but my Hba1c remained exactly the same. I notice you are hypothyroid - as I am - and wonder how much you know about the effect of that on blood sugars. I happened to watch a TV programme last night called "You Are What You Eat" which looks at improving people's diets. The two women featured both ate a huge amount of food - mainly high carb junk food and did little exercise. However, their cholesterol was good (3.9) and moreover their Hba1c was 40 and 36 respectively! 36!! And that was the woman who ate a jar of chocolate spread a day! What on earth am I doing wrong?
