[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 591068, member: 41816"] One thing worth remembering for when your doc next runs tests, is that low carbing will affect the results of blood tests. Both fasting BG and hba1c results are lower when low carbing - which is excellent news, of course! But if you move back to eating carbs there is no guarantee that your BG won't rise again... Also, low carbing actually causes raised results in an oral glucose tolerance test (often used to diagnose diabetes). So if your doctor schedules one of these tests, you need to eat 150g (approx) of carbs a day for several days before the test, so that your body re-learns it's insulin response. [/QUOTE]
