[QUOTE="sp41700, post: 935785, member: 67265"] My last HbA1c was 6%. But to get there I was getting so many hypos where I was mismatching carb content. I was really struggling because due to the nature of my job I often have to stay and eat in hotels. Then I got into the LCHF diet thanks to the help of tim2000s and a few others on these forums to get better bg control and lose weight. I am at the very LCHF or keto diet end of the LCHF diet spectrum. Because I have removed almost all the carb out of the bg equation it is interesting to see when the bg does change due to stress and exercise for example. I have been taking bg readings at normal times but also seeing what it peaks at i.e. within the two hours after meals. if you take the nice readings 6.5% 48mmol/mol according to the HbA1c calculator roughly equates to 7.7mmol/L so in theory if you dont get many readings above this figure your HbA1c should be lower than the NICE guidelines ;) [/QUOTE]
