It’s interesting that a couple of people in this thread have stories about having high A1C, dramatically reducing carbs, and the A1C not budging.
Wouldn’t this suggest that it isn’t the carbs that are the culprit?
This isn’t me attacking anybody. I’m genuinely curious as I would haven expected A1C to go down when carbs went down.
Yes. See my post above. It is a genetic condition.
In fact I would have dinner at say 6 or 7pm, get up at 5:30am, have a cup of coffee, two glasses of water, go straight out the door and do 30km at 4min/km , just drink from taps en route. 8 yrs ago (late 50's) I did a 2:15 30km just like that, came home and measured glucose and it was still 4.5
It simply doesn't budge downwards, but it will go up if I lived the way siblings do.
