You have probably confounded her expectations of what you could achieve.Yes you should carry on eating low carbs as it has obviously helped bring your sugars down. Is the 40 a recent HbA1c? is so what is it down from and especially very well done indeed.You could I guess experiment with more carbs to see what happens but personally I would be wary of that approach although you have been doing this for a lot longer than me. An HbA1c of 40 is only just outside "pre-diabetic" so I'd carry on with what you have been doing. Maybe try upping the fat content a bit if you are feeling a bit underweight or even a bit more protein but carry on measuring your bloods to make sure this doesn't spike you. I've still got more weight that I want to lose so I'm not really ready for maintenance yet. How low carb have you been to get where you are now?</blockquote>
