Yep. But the key issue is that patients need to be helped into diets that will be lower in carbs and provide more effective A1C control. I think the fact that you can see what happens to your glucose after every bite of food you take is a powerful incentive to improve your diet. No meds are going to reduct A1C of 10 or higher to even moderately high levels of 8 or so without serious dietary changes. I personally got my A1C down from 11 to 5.4 in 5 months with diet, exercise and meds but from my doctors own comments and my research the meds (Metformin and Victoza) really only contribute maybe 1.5 point reduction. If I have an A1C of 9.5 instead of 11 it's not going to make much difference. But at 5.4 I'm essentially normal.
