[QUOTE="douglas99, post: 717729, member: 38028"] It's an interesting point you make, particularly as it does indeed suggest the cause, and indeed the type of type 2 diabetes may be a different and varying beast to some of us. And the way our bodies react will indeed be different in individual cases. As you have a very similar HbA1C to me, and consistently so for a similar amount of time, the fact we both have wildly varying spot levels suggests a larger range variance. (Well, I do, yours seem consistently low) Your 5.1 HbA1c, would imply an average of 5.6%. So clearly, regular readings of 3 and 4's suggest something else could be happening somewhere. But just my opinion. My 5.3 seems to equate to an average of 5.9. and I like to think this does actually closely track to my reported ranged of occasional 4's to 7's, but then I do chase the high readings on my meter, and do tend to test when I suspect my readings will be maxing out. Probably not entirely what caused my diabetes then, but certainly with hindsight, I suspect it's very relevant to my particular story of what the solution to it was, and I do believe altering my calorie intake was helpful, particularly with respect to how my BG seems to track my calories now, but still keeping within the 'normal' range.
