[QUOTE="EllieM, post: 2368045, member: 372717"] Well, your user name is a hint, and when I click on your name your profile says you are 36, so I'm guessing you clicked a box to show your age when you joined the forums. (You can go into your account and change that on your privacy settings, if you wish.) Here's a link showing hba1c versus average bg reading [URL='https://www.diabetes.co.uk/hba1c-units-converter.html']HbA1c Units Converter - DCCT to IFCC (diabetes.co.uk)[/URL] As regards daily readings, you want them as normal as possible, under 6 before meals and under 7.8 90 minutes after for a non diabetic [URL='https://www.diabetes.co.uk/diabetes_care/blood-sugar-level-ranges.html']Normal and Diabetic Blood Sugar Level Ranges - Blood Sugar Levels for Diabetes[/URL] If you just want to be under 48 then under 7 before and under 8.5 after meals will probably do it. Be aware that most T2s find that their FBG (fasting blood glucose when they wake in the morning) is the last to reduce, because the liver produces sugar first thing in the morning, and though you can eat low carb, you can't control your liver's output.
