Message: <blockquote data-quote="Oldvatr" data-source="post: 1127180" data-attributes="member: 196898">I did a similar thing, so I will precis here.  Last week my HbA1c had dropped from 53 to 44,  My average bgl was running at 6.5mmol.L on my NEOmeter, and 8.1 on my SD Codefree meter,  An average of these 2 gives my HbA1v value of 7,3My weight under LCHF was static at 68 kg for a couple of months, but as my readings got lower, my weight dropped down to 57kg in the space of a couple of weeks,  I upped the HF side of LCHF, and raised it back up to 67.2 in time for my review wih the DCN,My graph of my averages showed that my readings were still trending lower since my HbA1c was drawn, and so I was heading for a 41 at the review.  At the meeting I said I was aiming for 36 - 38 target, and was told that would be too low,  I said I would just reduce my carbs by 20 g (i,e, 1 slice of toast).. I have done this now, and my bgl has plummeted from 7.33 avg down to 5,9 in the space of 4 days,  Tonight I had to stop my evening meds because of low bgl,  I thought I had plateau'd at 7.4 last month, but i seem to have awakened something by dropping my second piece of toast,  Simple!   My DCN took details of this website and LCHF and I think she will quietly research in lurk mode.  My results have certainly impressed her, and I earned an honourable discharge.  I am no longer requiring specialist support, and my doctor will receive a report saying  my readings are now compatible with the prediabetic range.  I will certainly be dropping some of my meds</blockquote>
