[QUOTE="DCUKMod, post: 2323790, member: 345386"] How long had you been low carbing when the recent A1c was done? Your meter numbers would certainly suggest you could be lower in the A1c, but it also suggests you might be missing some higher numbers that could be happening between the finger prick tests. Sounds like you are feeling and seeing some benefits of reducing your carbs, but I might be inclined to invest in a libre, or commit to a stringent period of testing. For example, you talk about "....Two hours plus after meals between 3.9 and 5.4....". That sounds a bit unscientific. I know it can be disruptive, jumping up to test or getting your kit out at a specified time, but I'b be inclined to commit to if for a couple of weeks at least. When I was in my most intensive period of testing, I used to set a countdown alarm on my phone, which I would start when I started eating. That kept me on the straight and narrow. [/QUOTE]
