[QUOTE="Member496333, post: 2438470"] Your doctor is misguided. How on Earth can you tackle the problem without measuring your progress and response to food? Typical GP. If your only tool is an annual HbA1c you’ll have died of old age before you learn which foods cause you problems and which don’t. More like it will confuse [I]them[/I] if you tell them the hallowed ‘whole’ grains are the worst thing you can possibly eat. Continue testing your own blood whenever you wish to. None of their business. As for HbA1c, there is a home kit on the market called A1C Now, but personally I think at this stage you’ll be better served by measuring your glucose during the day with a glucometer. Even if only for a few weeks while you learn how your body is reacting to food. See the link in my signature for a guide on how you might like to address the diet. [/QUOTE]
