[QUOTE="Alexandra100, post: 1753471, member: 429870"] My non-expert thought would be that what counts is how much time one is spending with one's bg at a high enough level to be harmful. And like you, I strongly suspect that in my case the harms start at a much lower level of bg than is usually thought to be the case, especially by health professionals. My worst A1c last summer was 41, which in the UK (though not the US) is just below pre-diabetes. My latest one (after reducing carbs) was 37, but I go along with the many research studies that indicate that with an average bg over 5.4 or an A1c over 34 (or even 31) the heart is already at risk, albeit not hugely. I would dearly like to get my readings down to these numbers, but in spite of my very low carb efforts this is not happening. I suspect that I am pre-LADA, and therefore all my efforts will not bring me the results that T2s often seem to get with low carb. How much Metformin are you taking? [/QUOTE]
