You need to eat what you ate that made the A1C 5,2. If you think you ate too much sugar, then cut that down. You are doing enough exercise and I would love to have those numbers. Just remember, you are what you eat. I don't miss the sugar if I eat a variety of foods that I really enjoy. When I think of the limited menu my mother cooked, I know that I missed enjoying a lot of healthy food out there in my youth. I also believe that eating regularly by the clock makes my body operate better and with less stress. I suppose there are foods out there that my body doesn't like and others that really help me. My body works better with high fiber foods, and I am not an old lady who thinks I should eat pudding and Jello for an easy diet. Actually, I prefer crunchy foods so long as I chew well and get the food ready to be digested. Relax, and enjoy your success. Dorisena
