A good low carb day yesterday which included an amazing chicken kebab from our local. No pitta bread garlic mayo and chili. Happy days.

[Petaluk]

Is that good?

 

[xfieldok]

Is that good?

Not sure! I feel ok though.

 

[Petaluk]

Not sure! I feel ok though.

Good to hear . Are you T2?

 

[Debandez]

Not sure! I feel ok though.

I've been as low as 3.3. Felt fine. I think it's about whether or not you take meds. I don't and that's why it was ok.

One question, what unit are people reporting these numbers

I realised that I have been writing my mmol/l readings. So just want to confirm what units are being used.

Most of us in UK are giving our readings in mmol/L.
HbA1c test results are given in IFCC scale or DCCT (%).
Posters abroad might give their readings in mg/dl.

You can use this converter to convert your HbA1c readings to mmol/L:

Yes I am T2, just Metformin and amlodipine, nothing dodgy. Must have been the wine.

That would often do it. 2 posters in particular often go into the 3s and also do some serious weights etc with those numbers but it is a suck it and see situation!

@geefull You and @Goonergal leave me banging my head against the wall in frustration at not being able to get to your numbers consistently. Well done you 2 but I want to reel you in like prize fish
