[QUOTE="PerfectStorm, post: 938222, member: 177771"] Thanks for your replies and sorry for my slow response. I will try to respond to your questions before my husband comes back with the toddler and we have to go out, but if I don't get chance, in the words of Arnie 'I will be back.' [USER=96315]@Andrew Colvin[/USER] no, I haven't been tested for LADA. What makes you ask this? Is there something that makes you think I should? I haven't changed test strips recently, still using accu-chek. Perhaps the fat is an issue, I'm not sure. I can't see what it would be though. 5:2 is something I could try to see if that gets FBG back down. If not, I suppose I could try ND for a couple of weeks to get them down and then move onto 5:2. [USER=128529]@photognut[/USER] although I was eating higher carbs than previously, I was still eating to my meter during the ND. The ryvita crackerbreads I was eating were 4g carbs each so not particularly high. My understanding of what Prof Taylor has said is it is the calorie deficit which is important, not the composition of those calories. I understood that the low calorie resulted in the removal of fat from the liver and then the islets in the pancreas, rather than any low carb element providing a 'system reboot.' I'm sure that when asked about the meal replacement drinks available to purchase being higher in carbs than optifast, he said it didn't matter as the blood glucose levels would normalise quickly and remain normal. Having looked at the nutritional info for optifast, those doing ND to the letter would have still been eating 35g carbs per day (10g per drink plus a guestimate at 5 for the veg.) This is higher than a lot of LCHFers on this site are eating. I didn't eat any pasta, rice or potatoes at all during ND but did have some livlife bread and also some ryvita crackerbread and also managed to have a little bit of 75% dark chocolate within the calories. Other than that, I was eating veg, meat, fish, low fat or fat free natural greek yoghurt (I don't eat anything other than plain yoghurt now.) I have looked through MFP to see my carb consumption during ND and I was generally around the 55g mark, although sometimes went up to 75g and occasionally down to 20/30g. Since diagnosis, apart from when on ND, my diet has been LCHF but I am not at the extreme end of low for carbs.
