[QUOTE="iHs, post: 20021, member: 8799"] Lady J and Fergus I think Margaret said her fasting was 7.7 and her hba1c is 6.2 which isn't that bad. I wish I could get mine to be that lol. ......................................................... I am sure Margaret that if you cut back on the snacks and eat smaller meals involving carbohydrate, then you will be able to do just fine as you will lose some weight and also your blood glucose will also drop so dont worry too much. Your GP should give you a prescription every month for about 50 test strips and give you a blood glucose testing meter so that you can see if what you are doing diet wise is working to reduce your blood glucose levels. Urine test strips will only detect glucose levels of about 10 or above so you should really have a blood glucose meter and try to aim to be no higher than 6 or 7. You should try to test twice a day - morning and before you eat your evening meal. Usually with type 2's the blood glucose level will rise up from lunchtime onwards so it is important that you do cut back on the amount of carb that you eat throughout the day. Everything will then even out. Take Care [/QUOTE]
