Ronin and all thanks for the feedback.

I did buy a BS meter and am running a 94 average, varies between 85 and 123 depending on how much and what I eat. I have been cutting carbs almost completely. Did get fasting BS numbers from my cardiologist since early 2007 and they were between 91 and 100, the last one from my GP was 115 after a huge dinner late at night before the fast. One week earlier at my cardiologist it was 91.

Noticed now check it fasting every day and it is anywhere between 83 and 92.

As far as the C-Peptide, would be the cause of not enough insulin, Pancreas?

As far as the HbA1c test, I have heard it is heavily weighted toward the end of the toward the last 4 weeks. I asked my doctor to do a test in 3 months and he acknowledge the last 4-6 weeks as well.

His big push is to loose weight, have lost 6 pounds in the last week. Have been eating very few carbs. The thing that bothers me is that I typically keep my carb input to a minimum, as it adds weight. My wife was surprised as well.


Keep the feedback coming
