Up until late February of this new year, I did a shabby job at carb counting. It was more, or less, guess-a-mating and it wasn't working. Once I started to get serious about my carbs, both at home and when eating out, I could see the results in my recent A1C.
On 2/9/11 it was a respectable 6.5, however, on 4/6/11 it was down to 5.7. That is a number I haven't seen since 2007. Of course, back then I was using diet and oral meds. I was switched to both a basal and bolus insulin in the summer of 2010.
My cholesterol was 147, and non-fasting triglycerides were 167, non-fasting. I have to go to non-fasting, because I have difficulty going longer than eight hours without food, seriously!
I would have to say that for anyone having trouble with their A1C's, get serious about carb counting, IT WORKS!
Shalom,
