Laura,
Take heart in the knowledge that 6.3 is not as bad as it can be for an AlC reading. When I was first diagnosed, 5 years ago, mine was 9. It should always be below 7.

I have found that common sense when eating makes more sense than tryng to decipher all those rules about starches and exchanges.

I don't eat white bread, pasta or rice. and I do eat potatoes (usually sweet) about once a week. My AiC was 5.9 the last time I tested a few months ago.

I would bet that if you just cut back on whatever carbs you are currently ingesting, you would receieve a lower AlC score.
Write to me if I can help.
i am at heelsdown@earthlink.net. I don't usually answer these posts because I no longer work for families.com, but if I can help you, Iwould be glad to.
Best,
Marjorie
