Hello Appollo welcome to the forum. I just wanted to say that low carb is much easier than it appears when you first start looking at it, and if you do low carb high fat you'll quickly find new favourite foods that do you a world of good.
Even my relatively feeble attempts (I do lapse quite often) at low carb high fat with intermittent fasting have been successful in lowering and stabilising my blood sugars - when you've done your reading and investigating, choose a path and go for it - good luck!
After reading a lot about LCHF, Keto and all the points of views - I wanted to try LCHF (as Keto sounds extremely intimidating). So, today, I just cut carbs in each of my meals (breakfast and lunch) and just increased fat (added more butter and cheese and peanut butter).
And I checked my BGs 10 times or so (like a maniac!!). And what I find is every reading has been between 5.9 to 8.2 (107 to 149 mg/dl). In the past (though I measure may be 4 times a day), the range would be 6.7 to 9.5 (120 to 170). And on top of it I hardly felt any hunger pangs. Very interesting and interested in pushing a bit more tomorrow.
P.S : I am totally running out of strips :-(
