[QUOTE="Jasperville, post: 1211606, member: 294517"] Incredible results Kevin. I wouldn't worry about the triglycerides, or HDL or LDL..................I subscribe to the Malcolm Kendrick view that stress is the only important factor in heart disease. The question of how low you should go with your Hba1c is very interesting. I have read in a few places (can't remember where, might be diabetes 101), that although normal Hba1c is said to be 4-6, this is only because most "normal" people are halfway down the diabetes road, and in fact most people who handle carbs well should be less than 5.0. But 29 equals 4.8 I think? This is brilliant, whichever way you look at it. Also, I did look into the evidence that Hba1c is a true representation of [I]average[/I] Bg a while back.............it just seems too good to be true. The evidence suggests that spikes have a disproportionate effect. so, for example, all the websites suggest that an Hba1c of 6.0 (42) equates to an average BG of 7.0 over the previous 3 months (but with more recent control being disproportionately important). However, lets imagine that BG had been a constant 7.0 throughout the 3 months. Compare that with someone who spent 18 hours a day at 6.0, and 6 hours per day at 10.0.................average still 7.0, but I suspect their Hba1c would be higher. My lab test has come back last week as 6.3 (45), which is an average BG of 7.5. I think my average is less than this, as spend most time in the 5's, but I spike above 10 maybe 3 times per week, due to lack of willpower - the lure of the carbs. Does anyone else feel that Hba1c relationship to BG is not truly linear? [/QUOTE]
