I’ve been very low carb for over a year now. I usually eat one meal per day and during work just have coffee with cream. Today I was out of town same scenario, coffee with cream hadn’t eaten since dinner last night. I checked my blood glucose, 4.6 ok great, it’s good, I can dip into the bowl...

I haven’t posted in quite a long time now. I still drop in to read up but I have been dealing with various things over the last year so posting hasn’t been a priority. Last Wednesday I had my bi-annual appointment with my dietician and diabetes nurse. They went over my latest blood work, asked...

I had my 6 month visit with my Dr yesterday. We went over my blood work, mainly my cholesterol numbers. My HDL went down, my triglycerides almost doubled and my LDL dropped slightly. He told me any cardiologist would have me on a statin immediately. I said to him “thank god you’re not a...

I had my quarterly appointment with my Dr today and went over my blood work. He was quite happy with my fasting bg and my Hba1c. However when he got to the lipid results he immediately recommended a statin which I refused. My fasting bg-6.8 Hba1c-5.8 Hdl-1.78 Triglycerides-1.47 LDL-5.06 I have...

I went to a coworker’s house for a holiday dinner this evening. Up until tonight I have been keeping to less than 50g of carbs. Tonight however, I totally blew it. I estimate somewhere between 250-400g of carbs. I checked my bg before going and it was 5.7, one hour after finishing eating it was...

For the last couple of weeks I have been testing my bg religiously pre and post prandial as well as fasting bg’s. My numbers have averaged between 8.0 (fasting) and then between 5.3-7.3. I haven’t had bread or rice but did have a potato Wednesday. My eating has pretty much been one meal in a...

Back in January I was given a new meterby my diabetes dietician. It’s a one touch verio flex and so far seems to be doing a good job. After a few months using it, my averages were quite high and my last Hba1c in September was about 4 or 5 points below what my meter was saying for my 90 day...

I did a 7 day fast recently and after that have been keeping my fat intake to between 75-85%, carbs under 10% and the rest protein. I know urine ketone sticks aren’t all that reliable but from what I have read is they will show that you are producing ketones but not how much. They will also...

I was cruising amazon.ca today and noticed Dr Jason Fung has a new book “The Diabetes Code” set to be released in April 2018 but can be pre-ordered now. I am going to wait and see if it comes out in audiobook format. I’m hoping it’s not just a rehash of the Obesity Code and would love to see...

I will log all my readings taken during the day as well as anything I had other than water. If for some reason I don't feel "normal" I'll add that as well. Day 1 Fbg-7.1 6:09am 11:48am-6.7 2:36pm-6.5 5:07pm-5.8 This morning (7:30am) one large travel mug of coffee with 18% cream. (I never use...

My fasting bg was 11.8 today. I haven't eaten yet and at noon my bg is 4.7 the only thing other than green tea with a bit of milk and a coffee with cream is I had my Creatine supplement. I have read (I believe Mayo Clinic)that Creatine can lower blood glucose and it is advised to drink plenty...

With Father's Day coming this weekend I plan on starting a 7 day fast after we have our dinner. Does anyone want to join and post their progress and offer mutual support?

After listening to "The Obesity Code" and "The Complete Guide To Fasting" in audiobooks, I did a 7 day fast and have since done a couple 2 days fasts and have been doing 24-36hour fasts off and on. Has anyone here done any fasting longer than 7 days? I'm considering doing a 14 day fast as I'm...

I know that on lchf going low or no starchy vegetables is optimum. What I would like to know is, do I have to limit non starchy/above ground vegetables to gain the full effect of glucose control/weight loss? My bg is slowly coming down (6.9 this morning) but I have been eating quite a few...

I saw my Dr and dietician at the beginning of last month (May). I had blood work done and my fbg was 7.4 and my Hba1c was 6.3. Both these numbers are up from my previous blood work 6 months prior. After this last appointment I read "The Obesity Code" and "The Complete Guide To Fasting." Since...

I was diagnosed type 2 diabetic several years ago and though I'm not on any medications for it, I still test my glucose levels regularly. I have since diagnosis lost 25lbs and have for the most part kept it off. I'm a 52 year old male, 5'6" and now weigh 187lbs. The weight does seem high but I...
