My A1C at my last visit was 6%. I've since lost about 10 more lbs. I've noticed that I've really been wanting to snack lately even though I'm in the green zone and am not truly hungry. I know it's likely head hunger, BUT I'm wondering if perhaps I'm having a little hypoglycemia with the cravings being my body wanting sugar??? This morning I forgot my Meds, but noticed I had very little hunger and no strong desires to snack all day.

When does the doc start decreasing medication for diabetes? I will talk to my doc about it, but I am just wondering what experiences others on this forum have had with this?

Thank you all!

my Dr. actually took me off of my oral meds at surgery... but I had to moniter my sugar every morning.. once it became level I no longer take anything.. depends on how much weight you have lost total I think and what you are eating.. I do not more than 5 gms sugar in any food.. so I do alot of sugar free or very low sugar.. I use Truvia for sweetner.. I would talk to my PCP and see what he says.. your A1c is pretty good.. I think sometimes if your blood sugar is not stable you may have some cravings.. If I stay away from carbs (bread, rice, etc.) I am fine...I have also started doing the treadmill 20 min. a day... I think exercise helps diabetes....
