Hi All,
I was diagnosed in late May. I've been testing for about a month and following a strict LCHF regime. It's quite clear to me that my diabetes has been caught early - I have had no symptoms, it was only found in a routine check-up and my BGs very quickly came down to normal range once I started LCHF. I was prescribed 2 metformin daily plus statins for cholesterol. I've stopped taking statins and reduced the metformin to just 1 per day (yet to discuss this with GP)
My normal fasting BG is between 4.5 - 5.0. This morning it was 4.0. Breakfast was bulletproof coffee (2 tablespoons each of butter & coconut oil.) 2 hours later my BG is 3.8. Question - is that good or bad?
