Hi Codergal,

I've taken my A1c from 10 to 5.7 without ever taking medication or exercising. It did take 2 years to get it into the 5's but my biggest drop was the first 3 months where it dropped by 3.6 %.

Now my husband was dx'ed recently with an A1c of 6.1 and has taken his fasting readings from the hundred teens to 83 to 97 with his average being 90. He'll be won't be getting his A1c recheck until Jan. 13 but I feel sure that he will be in the low 5's

Everyone IS different but I want you to know that low carb alone does work for some of us. How long I don't know as I've only been at it for 2 1/2 years.

Best of luck to you,
Glennette
