My husband just got his A1C results....5.7! He is an insulin dependent type 2 diabetic. Using our own version of low-carb he I keep his weight and blood sugar under excellent control. That is a great A1C reading for a NON diabetic!

Congratulations!

Congratulations on the A1C...

I have a question:

In the past 90 days, how many times did he have a hypo? (BG readings below 70)

Not often. His bgls are usually between 85 and 100 fasting in the morning. He takes lantus twice a day, 20 units am and 17 units pm. and 1500mg metformin daily. He is type 2 and has been insulin dependent for ten years. He tests three times a day, before each meal. I plan the meals around his bgl. Occasionaly, if he works in the yard too long without a snack for example, he will go low, but he has been doing this long enough that he pretty much knows how much he has to eat to compensate for exercise.

Congrats! The same thing happed to me! Since August I lost 45 lbs and last month I had my A1C taken and it was 5.9. My doctor took me off the metformin!(it was 6.9 this time last year) This WOE is now a lifestyle!
