[QUOTE="EllieM, post: 2051698, member: 372717"] Is an hba1c of 101 dangerous? Yes, if you don't get it down again. What makes the giant leap. Here are just some of the possibilities but I'm sure there are others 1) You've relaxed your diet or you need to reduce your carbs further to get the same result. If you give a description of a typical day's food then the folk here will be able to see if there's any obvious food culprit. 2) It's possible that you've started to produce less insulin either because your beta cells are worn out through over production or because your original T2 diagnosis was inaccurate (you could have been T1/LADA). 3) Illness and stress cause an increase in blood sugars, so if you've been ill over the last few months than that could do it. At least try the slow release version before you give up on it, assuming you had a stomach upset as a result. (Note I'm assuming you're currently T2 because your previous postings indicate that.) Good luck. [/QUOTE]
