After another great hba1c result of 5.2% or 34 mmol/mol I am off Metformin finally after two and a half years.
Well done you!!

5.8 this morning. A little higher than I'd like but yesterday, I celebrated an unexpected art sale (from an exhibition) with a small feast (a 6oz, 4 cheese burger with no bun and a pile of veggies, some 85% dark chocolate and a small glass of cabernet sauvignon). I now have art winging it's way to Gemany!

8.1 for me, I am experimenting with the carnivore diet and I have stopped lantus before bed as I am about 5 when I go to bed but I seem to rise through the night. I am doing this for a month to see how it goes, I am combining this with intermittent fasting.
What will your carnivore diet involve (apart from meat!)?
