[QUOTE="Resurgam, post: 1927812, member: 355878"] The Hba1c test which is used for diagnosis and 'status' is an indication of the average level of glucose in the blood for the last three months, so it is not possible to draw conclusions about it very easily. I realized that mine had dropped quite rapidly, several points a week, but that was only possible after getting the result. The continuous monitor devices can give an approximate Hba1c number, but without continuous data it isn't possible. The main thing is to find out what you can eat without causing spikes - testing before and two hours after starting to eat is the usual way to do that, looking for meals which don't raise levels more than two whole numbers.
