Kevin, looking through your recent posts to summarise your regime would the following be fair.
i) Exercise, considerable amounts.
ii) Diet, controlled, if today's posting on "what you ate today" is the new normal.
iii) Fasting: some short some long.
Result: 29
Have I missed anything?
Thinking for myself, I think I could review all of the above.... not tried any fasting yet...
You and Mrs KP and your Docs must be tickled pink.
Really well done.
Why? Just why does your doc want that low, @KevinPotts ?You've got it. Diet was 25g LCHF but I am now testing and so this next three months will be about 50-75g, but lots of BG testing so that I can see what my body does and does not tolerate
Yes we are very happy. Doc would like me st the end of the next 6 months (Jan 2017) to push down A1C to no higher than 25.... I'll give it a go, but unrealistic this next three months whilst testing I would have thought. His target would mean my average 24 hours a day would be highish 4s....tough

I applaud your success, but why would doc want you to lower further? What is the rationale behind that? Is it to give a 'buffer zone' to protect future. I would really be asking doc to explain. Is this NHS guidelines or is it a private doc?
Low 4's, that's 4.4 in old money.
You may need a 2 week fast for that one!
Thanks @KevinPottsHe did in some detail He referred me to some current thinking that looked at consistent averages of BG. The mid to high 4s if possible have much more stable corresponding metabolic markers.

Fantastic! Is it all down to low carbing?
Does your doc recommend this target and treatment regime to all his patients?You've got it. Diet was 25g LCHF but I am now testing and so this next three months will be about 50-75g, but lots of BG testing so that I can see what my body does and does not tolerate

Congratulations @KevinPotts! Fantastic results, but is your 'simple supplement' Oppo ice cream? If so you obviously need to eat more!Yes with exercise and intermittent fasting and a simple supplement regime
