[QUOTE="JoKalsbeek, post: 2205550, member: 401801"] I have no idea why they won't give you a HbA1c... It's less hassle and gives rather clear answers, as it covers blood glucose of the last 3 months. One blood draw, maybe to two confirm a few weeks later, done. What you can do it eat as you normally would have (Not pizza though, that's notorious for peaking late, waaaay past the time you would check), and check what your numbers do then. Because yes, if you're eating relatively low carb (I don't know exactly what you mean by a diabetic's diet, as that tends to vary depending who you talk to), your numbers could be normal while you're actually prediabetic or diabetic. [B]You do need to know...[/B] I don't want to eat the diet I'm on for the rest of my life either. I am going to though, because it'll keep my quality of life and the duration of it in my preferred range. ;) And really, bacon and eggs for brekkie isn't that bad you know. ;) Still really weird that you're not getting a HbA1c test done.... The medical world works in mysterious ways, that's for sure. [/QUOTE]
