Why does my HbA1c reading stubborly stay the same?

[lindisfel]

Hi all,
I am new to this after being diagnosed in October.
I went on a diet reducing my high GI carbs, lost 10 kgs in three months, but my HbA1c stubbornly was still glued to 50!

Presumably my pancreas released more glucagon to release more stored glucose from my liver???
The balance of insulin and glucagon must be an interesting study in positive and negative feedback!

I'm taking warfarin and I'm just wondering if this poison impairs the livers function to respond to the two vital feedback hormones from the pancreas?
regards
Derek

Update:
In April my second Hba1c test this year was 46.
I got this down by eating to meter from post prandial tests and following a low GI diet.

Cutting wheat input and potatoes right down is the only way.

Why the medical profession does not support well motivated individuals using eating to meter I find incomprehensible!

Derek
