Been diabetic T1 since 2003, how do I improve my HbA1c? It ranges mostly at 9

Has your doctor suggested that you go on a low carb high protein diet for tighter blood sugar control and weight loss? I’m also a type 1 Diabetic and my doctor suggested that I do a low carb high protein diet. I also do carb. counting for each meal and snack. This helps to keep my blood sugars nice and even during the day and evening hours. I also use a CGM. I hope this helps. 😀👍

I've been type 1 since 1969 alot has changed in the 50 years of having it but one thing that hasn't changed is always testing your blood sugar and correcting with your insulin as I'm sure you are aware of? What helped me 10 years ago I did Dafne ( dose ajust for normal eating) found it a great help , then I had a free stlye libre,which I printed off the results to take to my hospital appointment, this is when they could see that I was trying so hard and doing what I should be doing but not getting the results, it's then that they suggested an insulin pump! This was scary to me after 48 years of injecting 6-8 times a day to suddenly none, I've since been on the pump for 2 years with a fantastic hb1 AC 😁 I'm 52 years old and feel great.hope this will help you .

Well done Jay, DONT give in & keep at it every day. Check check & keep checking. I know its a pain but keep going for a walk every day. I have been T1 since England won the World Cup. I do not like sitting still. GOOD LUCK
