Just wanted to share my joy at my latest glycosylated hemoglobin (Ac1) test - 5.2 which I think corresponds to an average of about 90, which is what Dr.B says we should try for. On the ADA diet it was over 8 at one point. Lowcarb certainly works for me. By the way, this is not a lab result, but from a home test - I used the Metrika Ac1Now kit, which actually lots of Drs use in their office instead of waiting for a lab result. But anyhow, I was going to buy one over the web, which was going to be over $25, but found a distributor in my town which sells to Drs but was willing to sell to me too. So it cost $13.70. I should not have been surprised at the 5.2 reading, because I test a lot, and that was my average on the glucometer, but its nice to have this other test confirming it. Bill
