tonker. Less than 48 HbA1c mmol/mol is usually considered good control, you are very marginally outside this. As the test is backward looking over 2-3months, I doubt you will see much change in a week. However, for me I can say the following: Eating liver - very bad news on 2 occasions, large spike in blood/glucose readings next day, I don't eat it anymore. Drinking spirits (only whisky (made from Barley), Raki (made from grapes) or Ouzo (grape I think)) in very small amounts, about half a standard UK pub measure, seems to reduce my mmol/L (blood/Glucose) readings the next morning by around 15-20%. If you increase consumption to a standard pub measure, it seems to have the oposite effect. Other spirits, like brandy increase my readings next day. I have no logical explanation for this, but it is repeatable 80-90% of the time. Good luck!
