[QUOTE="Smallbrit, post: 2079778, member: 456748"] I just had the same dilemma - but had no choice in the matter. My doctor's surgery scheduled my test for yesterday, one week after I;d come back from a two-week holiday in Texas. I was hoping that they'd do it before I went. Texas portions are Texas sized and with a lot of carbs. But I used to live there, and so I went out to eat a lot and while I made good choices where I could (there was actually quite a lot of choice - one Tex-Mex restaurant had something called a "Low Carb Platter" which was on a plate that could feed 10 people but hey... it was actually properly low carb), I was also back 'home' and was enjoying that too. So, yes, the results from this should be interesting. I do know from monitoring closely in the last six months that I've had much better control this year than last year (if we ignore the holiday :bag:) so I'm pleased with myself from that. But I've got about 4 years of HBA1C tests under my belt, and it's probably taken that long to get used to what I'm happy with personally, and that's something you know by trial, error, and deciding what works for you. You are heading in a great direction, and the results from lowering carbs, in a way that you are comfortable with and able to maintain, do pay off, health-wise, mentally and physically. [/QUOTE]
