Interesting, I always assume some variance. Following the advice of my wife (a pharmacist!), I've been on a restricted calorie diet (1300kcal) for 10 days and it seems to have worked. My resting a1c is 4.3. I can recommend trying it - although it's not easy. The first 5 days are horrible. I only managed it because I had a stomach virus (so wasn't eating). Pills are expensive and it's crazy to be stuck on them if you can control your glucose with diet.
