[QUOTE="Old_screw, post: 1715025, member: 204543"] Thanks for your advice K and ianspurs I do test after meals from time to time, but not regularly. I eat a pretty low carb diet ( no more than 80 a day) and I exercise with light weights for twenty minutes a day and I walk in excess of 5 miles a day, which is as much as I can manage at my age (77)! My next Ha1bc is due at the end of March and hopefully that will be OK. My last in September was 38 and I'm hoping for something similar. I have been diabetic since 2012 and until I stumbled across this site I managed to keep my figures between 47/47 by losing 3 stones and cutting out bread, pasta rice etc., My doctor was quite happy with that, but after reading the inspirational and amazing success stories on this forum, I was not and felt I could do better. Consequently, I decided to completely change my diet and way of life and embrace LCHF and subsequently lost a further 2 stones ( in my photograph I am wearing a tee shirt that was due to go to the Charity shop because it was too tight!) until recently my morning reading was 5.6 or so but in the last few days it has been between 6.5 and 7.4 with no obvious cause. I will just keep an eye on it and see what happens. [/QUOTE]
