Quick backstory.
In late May, I went to a LC diet, of 35 gross carbs a day. At that point my A1C was 10.4.
Six weeks later I had my A1C checked again, and it was down to 7.4.
Since then I have had a couple of slips ( 1 day slips ).... and I have adjusted my LC WOE to intentionally include some extra carbs.
I truly hate eating LC, but I must do it to keep my diabetes in check.
For instance, ONE day a week, I let myself eat 50g - 75g of carbs, but the rest of the days I stay at 35 or under gross carbs.
One day per month, I allow myself to hit 100 carbs
IF I FEEL LIKE I NEED IT. ( meaning need it mentally, not a blood sugar issue. )
So, approximately 25 - 27 days a month of 35 gross carbs or less. 3 -4 days a month of 50g - 75g. "Maybe" 1 day a month of 100g.
I feel great!
My blood sugars seem to be pretty stable in the 90 - 125 range. Before going LC, my blood sugars were well into the 200's.
So, with that said, as I don't understand A1C 100%, but I know I want it under 7. Should I expect that my A1C is still dropping? I have another blood work test set up for January. I hope that I am under 7, but worry because I have added some carbs back into my diet. I probably used to eat 400g of carbs a day. YIKES.
I can feel fairly sane ay my current levels of carbs. I don't feel like every day is a day where I hate my food.
