Just received my lab results. I’ve been on low carb for a year and doing keto for about 9 months. I dropped my A1c levels dramatically after the first three months. Since then I’ve tested roughly the same 6.4.
I test my blood three times a day and in the last three months my results have encouragingly lowered. I am usually below 120. So I was depressed and confused to find that this was not reflected in my A1c level.
The good news is over the past year my triglycerides have lowered from an initial reading of 120 then 100 and now 84. My HDL has gone from 63 to 83. My LDL has increased slightly to 179.
Any suggestions as to how I can improve my blood glucose readings? Why would my daily results show a lot of improvement but not my A1c? I am so upset by these results and have difficulty understanding the whys.
