[QUOTE="Lamont D, post: 1268332, member: 85785"] The 27.2 is the finger prick test that gives you an approximate amount of glucose in your blood at that particular time. It is in mmols! The other reading is I think your Hba1c test, haemoglobin! This test shows your last two to three months average. This is a percentage. Do you have a monitor, if not get one and start recording you blood glucose levels, start a food diary to see which foods or a combination of foods are giving you high readings. The usual culprits are carbs and sugars. My advice is reduced your carbs and sugars, reduce your plate size, increase your exercise if possible, even if it only means an extra half hour walk after a meal. This will have a tremendous impact on your blood glucose levels. The low carb higher fat diet actual works and if done properly, can lead to normal blood glucose levels and loss of weight if needs be! Take heed of [USER=25759]@daisy1[/USER] post! Welcome to the forum. I always say have a read of the low carb forum and the success stories forum. It will inspire you. [/QUOTE]
