[QUOTE="Geoffno6, post: 1919880, member: 485522"] Hi Beccahn, you’ll get plenty of good advice here. I had a similar experience to you, optician recommended the BG test with similar results but a tad higher Hba1c at 126 back in June. My FBGs were 17. My Hba1c was down at 67 and a daily average of 8 by late August by low carbing, less than 30g per day. I’m not a doctor so hesitate to say it but I’d test test test before eating and 2 hours after to find out what foods push up your BG. Ideally 2 hours after eating your BG should be no more than 2 points higher. You’ll see lots of posts with FBGs of 4 -6 , don’t let them bother you. Mine are often on 9 in the morning but keeping them down to 6 to 8 for the rest of the day by low carbs and exercise means my average isn’t too bad. Ideally yours will drop quicker than mine. Good luck with what might be a slowish battle and ask lots of questions, the lovely people on here will answer!! And try to stay calm because stress raises your BG! [/QUOTE]
