[QUOTE="EllieM, post: 2292658, member: 372717"] Is this weight loss before or after you started to watch what you eat? Corresponds to an hba1c of 57.... (Though it does depend a lot on when you are testing.) The thing is, those figures aren't actually that high yet, some folk come on here with a T2 diagnosis and hba1c's of 100. But, if you reduce carbs and they don't come down you have to consider the (probably small) possibility that you might have T1 instead of T2, in which case high sugar levels combined with high ketones can be dangerous, and require a call to 111 and a trip to casualty.
