The moral of the story, is, know what foods you can eat, StrictionD and what foods you generally cant eat. Make it a policy that you can only eat 'naughty' treat foods on rare occasions, like once a month, and always check the label of the foods you buy. Compare different manufacturers of the same food item, as it can often be surprising how much difference there is between different manufacturers.
Our blood contains red blood cells, and these are made of haemoglobin molecules. Glucose in our blood sticks to the haemoglobin to make what is known as 'glycosylated haemoglobin' molecules, which are also described as haemoglobin A1C or HbA1C. The higher the levels of glucose that there are in the blood, then the more haemoglobin A1C or HbA1C will be present.
Red blood cells have a life cycle of somewhere between 8 -12 weeks before they are replaced. When we measure our HbA1C it will tell you how what your blood glucose level has averaged over those previous 8-12 weeks. A non-diabetic HbA1C reading is between 3.5-5.5%, whereas in diabetes patients, good blood sugar control is considered about 6.5%.
