@Winnie53 I was 46 when diagnosed, just about 2 yrs back. And had all the typical symptoms of T2D, extreme thirst, frequent urination, exhaustion, numbness hands and feets, night perspiration, heart palpitation, persistent ulcers, brain fog, skin thickening and darken around the knuckles etc..
Typical day
Breakfast - eggs and cheese
Lunck - roast pork belly or fish/veg
Dinner - roast pork belly or ribeye steak.
When I fast, I typically skip dinner or breakfast. I will eat lunch. So it would be more than 16 hours.
Pre-meal is usually below 6 mmol
Post-meal around 6 mmol, unless I have rice/noodles with the roast pork belly. Then it can spike up to 8 mmol or higher. I keep this to about once a week...on the weekends.
I generally believe in the flawed logic that Jenny Ruhl, Dr Bernstein and Dr Joseph Kraft has regarding normal glucose level and elevated insulin levels...and try to use that as my guide.
When it does goes up higher...I drink raw puer tea which will help bring it back down to 5 mmol or less.

Weight has remained fairly constant around 74-76 kg. So it is not due to weight loss either.
Fasting BG has been stable around 5.5mmol, closer to 4.5mmol only on extended multiday fast.
