I was a bit low yesterday. I went to see the Diabetic nurse specialist. She kept emphasising that this is a regressive illness and I'm only going to get worse. She was dismissive of the keto diet, saying only small changes to diet were sensible. And she called testing a waste of time as people just obsess over it.
Needless to say, she said remission doesn't happen unless your starting point is very low in the first place (low 6s).
Is this the common opinion amongst health professionals?
So far (about 2 weeks) I've seen my fasting glucose levels drop from the mid 7s to 5s and 6s on a very low carb diet. Obviously it's early days but it does seem to indicate I'm on the right track!
