[QUOTE="JoKalsbeek, post: 2250758, member: 401801"] Hey [USER=302968]@Rubette[/USER] , The 50 mmol/mol will be your HbA1c, the average of 3 months' worth of blood glucose, which is just barely in the diabetic range. You should be able to get it back into the prediabetic and then, non-diabetc range soon with just a few tweaks in your diet.
