[QUOTE="TorqPenderloin, post: 989300, member: 211504"] UPDATE: Relevant to this thread and discussion. I've now gone 50 hrs without a drop of insulin. My 2-week average glucose levels have continued to drop (currently show 6.0mmol/l down from 6.4mmol/l). -I've reduced my carbs from about 250-300g/day down to about 30g/day -yes, I am in ketosis (confirmed with ketone testing strips) -my activity levels are high by most people's standards (heavy weight lifting, I run ~25km/week, and other various outside activities) -I eat 6-7 meals a day to avoid large spikes -Energy levels are unchanged which I find odd given my past experience with LCHF diets. However, the last time I did one, I was a college athlete and exercised more than 4hrs/day. -only side effects are the bowel issues (which I knew to expect) but very minor To put it into perspective, my a1c was 13.2 when I was first diagnosed on September 2nd 2015[ATTACH=full]16431[/ATTACH] Edit- I'm attaching a screenshot of my dexcom trend graph to share my progress. I'm in the US so my results are in mg/dL. Remember to just divide by 18 to convert into mmol/l [/QUOTE]
