[QUOTE="NathonalCoalBoard71, post: 2599585, member: 570965"] I think there are great tips here and whilst you probably don't feel unwell and could just see what happens next time you are tested you might want to buy a meter and run the fasting and post meal tests to see if you are in range (4-7) within 2 or 4 hours after a meal like 'something on toast' versus fish and veg versus cake! Next add a walk after the meal to see what happens then. If you were to find that your blood glucose is elevated above 7 when you wake up and remains above 7 after 4 hours then that would suggest you're not tolerating carbohydrates very well (I'd d expect you to have rises after toast/cake). The other things that come with problems managing blood glucose are: Thickening waist (more than half your height) High blood pressure (more than 140/90) or being treated for BP Lipids e.g. triglycerides higher than your HDL cholesterol if you can see that info on your patient records. If you have any of these other signs on top of the raised hba1c I'd consider making changes like a bit more exercise and a bit less cake/bread/pasta/rice (its all glucose to your body btw so forget 'healthy wholegrains). That means more protein and fat including dairy as well as nuts. One meal at a time is a good way to gradually get into this if that's what you decide! [/QUOTE]
