If your had an A1C of 12.4 so recently, but low carb is giving you a blood glucose with a range between 90 and 130, that's not an anomaly--it's an awesome response to low carb.

The worst thing you could do is not take that 12.4 seriously. If your A1c reverts to pre- or even non-diabetic in three or four months times, that won't mean that you can handle carbs again, it will just mean that you're handling not eating carbs very well.

My thought is to go to the doctor and say this does not make sense to me, can you explain what you think is wrong, redo the A1C and explain how you think I should manage the disease.


This might be a good idea, if enough time goes by for your A1C to show the improvement that seems very likely given your blood glucose numbers. But maybe you should be the one to explain how he should manage the disease in his patients. What you are already doing is more effective than what your doctor has contributed so far.
