Lab says normal is: 4.9 to 5.8 Retest of Fasting BG: 88 If it works for you...but don't attribute it to low carb...there are many factors that may and do affect BG. Just losing weight helps most newbies achieve better control. There is more than one way to lose weight. HbA1c is a measure of glycated cells. The number in you blood has gone down...good for you !! You cannot necessariy attribute that drop in A1c to any one cause, rather a combination of events likely lead to the drop. Having said that...Congratulations. Keep up the good work !! Twenty a day is VERY difficult to maintain, make sure you have your kidneys checked regularly !! |

What the hell is a newbie in this case? It is true that there is more than one way to lose weight, but what does that have to do with this? :: :: HbA1c is a measure of glycated cells.

It is very common to LCers to see A1c drop. Exercise does help, too. :: :: Having said that...Congratulations.

This kidney stuff simply must stop. After two yearly physicals, my kidneys are fine (better, in fact, then when I was on low fat and had high readings). There is no basis in fact for kidneys going bad due to low carb. It's a myth. See the following: http://www.lowcarbresearch.org/lcr/r....asp?catid=207 -- Bob in CT Remove ".x" to reply |

Maybe all you idiots should read ALL of the information presented !! The original poster identified themself as a diabetic who is low carbing. Low carbing typically means that they make up the calories with a combination of FAT and PROTEIN. Diabetics are at HIGHER risk of kidney disease...therefore, one on a low carb diet better make sure their kidney function is good and stays good. |

Diabetics should always be concerned about kidney function on ANY diet. Period. Gaining control of BG goes a long with to preventing future problems. |
