My HbA1c was 6.8and next one should be lower still, I was ssetting my
ceiling sugar level at 10 as my GP had said. Now i rarely go over7. I found
the dieticians in the hospital last year pretty useless. i had a stroke 
and
while I was in I was on their so-called Diabetic Dietand my sugars were
high. now I'm in contrrol It stays down. I find bread particularly bad,
which is a pity as I love it and bake my own.another good resource is Rick
Mendosa's website.I have e-mailed him some questions occasionally and he's
great Just put Rick Mendosa into your browser.
Where in Somerset are you? I'm in Reading and visit friends in Bristol
fairly often.

they're a lot lower, and don't veer so wildly now. I kept a food diary 
and
tested after every meal for a month - I had sore fingers! Now I have a 
good
idea of what makes my sugars shoot up high, so feel a lot calmer and more 
in
control. It got very scary for a while!
