Two months ago it was 128, I then started low carbing, and today I got the result of 86, lowest I've been for a few years!!!!!!!! :D
Still a way to go but what a great start! if I could only get rid of the dreaded DP it would be much lower!

Looking forward to seeing nurse next week and telling her it's all down to lchf ;)
 
Dawn phenomenon (when your liver gives your BG a little boost (or not so little)) to help you get started in the morning.
 
Well done @rowan, keep going!

Well done rowan, I am so pleased for you. You are certainly going in the right direction :happy:

I must admit i thought it would be higher than that so it was a lovely surprise! The first few weeks there was still a lot of exerimenting going on (had never heard of lchf before mid january!), and more than a few very high BGs in the high 20s, so hopefully there'll be an equally impressive drop for my next A1C.
And I've lost around a stone in weight during the same time :)
 
Can anyone tell me the new ranges for hba1c in mml my last reading was 63 which I know is lower than good and must do better but can't remember the ranges now it's changed???
