this is what my dr has always said…lower a1c i gain…higher a1c i lose weight…he says when i’m high my body eats my fat for energy therefore resulting in weight loss because there is less fat on my body, just as you mentioned. both can happen on the same amount of carbs and even exercise i’ve noticed. i can be a bum, be sloppy with my insulin and lose weight but on the other hand i can exercise like crazy and have excellent sugars and gain haha. i’m sticking with the excellent sugars and the gain…i’m not overweight so there is no concern for me to gain a few extra pounds yet!!
