Message: <blockquote data-quote="Brunneria" data-source="post: 2376575" data-attributes="member: 41816">Personally, I wouldn't be happy with an HbA1c that took me up into pre-diabetes (which is 42 here in the UK)I take the view that by looking after my health now, I reduce the likelihood of an unpleasant old age, with deteriorating eyesight, numb feet, kidney disease, leg ulcers, and so on.So I stick to low carb now in the hope that I have a better, healthier, happier old age.Both my parents are in their late 80s, so I like to think that I could have plenty of good health between 60 and 90 years, instead of a miserable, energyless, ill, old age filled with insulin resistance, hospital appointments, heart disease and needing more and more help around the house, which is more likely to happen if I run my blood glucose higher, and allow the insulin resistance to increase.</blockquote>
