What I am getting at is completely remove plant based foods for a day and check your A1C.

Here is an explanation of the Diabetes and recommendations from the world's foremost Naturopathic Doctor, Andrew Weil https://drweil.com/health-wellness/body-mind-spirit/diabetes/diabetes-type-2/

Did you mean check the blood glucose? Because one day has minimal effect on A1c, as it takes a few weeks to alter an A1c reading.

I know you asked about food but have you considered getting a long walk in daily? I have a friend who is diabetic and she walks to lower her sugar. Just a thought but it would have to be a daily thing and long enough to let your sugars drop a bit. Be sure you check with your doc first of course.

A1C is basically a 3 month reading on BG numbers - a one day change is likely to have very minimal effect on the A1c reading.

Right, exactly. That’s why checking A1c after altering one’s diet for only one day is pointless. Checking blood glucose, however, would show a change.
