[QUOTE="Resurgam, post: 2306528, member: 355878"] I suspect it is your Hba1c that is 60, the units are mmol/mol - and whilst it is in the diabetic range, it is not drastically so - mine was 91 at diagnosis and was just in the normal range 6 months later, but I can't really recommend following the Education Course advice if it is anything like the one I went on. We were told that baked potato and beans was a good lunch. Well - yes, if you want to snooze away the afternoon in a high glucose haze it is. With a glucose meter you check that you are eating the right amount of carbs to give you normal numbers, and tweak the menu if you aren't - that is all it is, no stress, just reassurance that you are getting it right. If you start a low carb way of eating you could well find out that you are no longer diabetic by the time the courses are up and running again. [/QUOTE]
