[QUOTE="NéjiSaïdi, post: 2223625, member: 519847"] I'm 55 and have been diagnosed with T2D a year ago. I immediately started a low carb diet against the wish of my physician. Within three months I lowered my hba1c from 8.2 % (66.1 ) to 6.2 % (44.3) , now it's around 5.8 % (39.9). My lipid profile looks good with lower triglycerides & LDL-C and higher HDL-C. My blood pressure is somewhere between 120/80 and 110/70. I needn't say I lost 11 kg (from 74 kg to 63 kg). The take-home message: don't give up, the process of resetting your metabolism takes time. I retrieved control of my blood glucose and improved my metabolic markers through a low carb diet. Initially, I eat lots of veggies and some fruit; I obliterated refined sugar from my diet. Six months into my life style change, I reverted to LCHF (Low Carb High Fat). It did wonders to my system. I am not recommending a strict Keto diet; but I emphasize a low carb one: be it vegetarian, carnivorous, or other. It's your choice, and it depends on how your body reacts to macro-nutrients that make up your diet. Our bodies behave differently. Regular exercise is a must. Good luck. I have my comment is of some help. I deliberately shared my labs to give you an idea of what I did. If I did it, why can't you. [/QUOTE]
