Now 4 weeks into dr Bernstein's solution. Wow... It seems to be working better than I thought.
1st wk looked promising, then caught a sickness bug (kids party!) which sent my BG readings up, but last 2 weeks of BG readings are very pleasing with pre breakfast average of 4.4 and 2hr after eating average of 4.7 with a Max of 5.2.... So meeting / bettering his advised BG levels.
Since I was on a low carb diet anyway, I have found eating to his dietary recommendations easier than I thought, mainly no fruit and less tomatoes and nuts.
It will be interesting to see over the next few months how my BG readings go....... Downwards will indeed indicate that beta cells are regenerating, upwards not...... Time will tell.... I will be happy if they stay the same.
Diagnosed T2 in sept 2013, BS levels 20+. BMI 22, age 59. Then diagnosed T1 / LADA in December. On a LcHf diet taking no insulin or medication, and striving to keep my BS readings to dr Bernstein's recommended 4.6 pre breakfast and 5.6 2hr after eating in order to keep as many insulin making pancreas beta cells as possible for as long as I can.
