For a month, after reading a while about things that theoretically could be good to the pancreas and insulin secretion, I've combined 1800mg of Berberine, 1500mg of Bitter Melon extract, 1 raw garlic clove (5g~9g, very hard to take it), a small piece of Ginger (20g~30g, not that easy either) and...

Unfortunately, I've had no glucose insulin pattern tests, not yet at least. COVID is a bit wild here where I live, so I'd like to postpone visiting doctors/labs/clinics for a while (unless it's an emergency, of course). I've also heard that whoever is on keto and on ketosis (my case) should eat...

Thanks for your replies, Zilsniggy. I should have blood tests in order to check electrolytes. I intend to do it (maybe I'll wait a little just to see if COVID situation is somewhat controlled where I live). I've been thinking about that, yes, and certainly at least magnesium had to do with my...

Actually I have not, yet. But I've just bought it and will eventually try it. Thanks! As I've been constipated pretty much all my life (but never as much as after keto/carnivore), I am also inclined to investigate if that would have anything to do with A1 beta-casein. I've just learned that for...

I wonder if the "mimicking" part makes FMD really better (about β cell regeneration and whatever can help people with T1/T2 diabetes), that is, it makes sure FMD "triggers" something real fasting won't, or it's there only for better compliance. I couldn't find anywhere that doing real fasting...

I have prediabetes and I've been on keto for about 6 months now (recently on Carnivore and OMAD as well). I have already experienced some improvement, though not enough. Yet, there's a particular trend on my BG that does not seem to go away. Whenever I eat a meal, even if there's a good amount...

I am a little better now, I don't get leg/foot cramps so often and when they come they're not so intense anymore . What seems to have helped? I have reduced coffee (now "just" 500ml daily, I used to drink 2x that) and I increased Magnesium dramatically, usually above 800mg/day, way above...

I've just tried for the second time 72-hour fasting. This time it ended up 74-hour. My average BG (7 days) before fasting was 87 mg/dL. During the 74-hour fasting, on the second day, I've got FBG 70mg/dL, but I guess before the dawn phenomenon period (I had insomnia and woke up really early...

I've just started Carnivore a few days ago. In less than 48 hours, it already improved my sleep, my humor, and my disposition. Carb cravings vanished. Apparently I get best FBG when my protein comes from 300g of fat ground meat instead of 5 or 6 eggs (omelettes) with bacon, but I don't know if...

Thank you so very much @bulkbiker and @Jim Lahey !!! I am somewhat in a crossroads with IF now. I've got attached to it, usually I did 24-hour, then 36-hour, then I tried a 48 once with success. I love every aspect of its routine and saw fantastic BG results. Things I thought were fiction were...

Thank you very much for your reply, bulkbiker! I suppose if I eat 572g of sirloin, I'll get 95g of protein (1.58 g/kg) and 1557 calories. To reach 2000 calories, I would have to eat 735g of sirloin (not a problem at all to me!), but then I'd get 122g of protein. I don't know if it's...

I was on carnivore for a while, for some weeks, a few months ago, just a little after I've started to fight high BG. I must say those were the happiest days in terms of feeling good with and enjoying meals. Back then, fasting glucose reaction got a little higher (regardless of zero or nearly...

I will certainly be happy to add spinach to my diet, as I find it delicious! Thanks Today my leg cramps woke me up just one minute before the alarm. It was a bit like a B Horror Movie scene. On front lower leg, the muscle cramp froze my (right) foot, so it would keep pointing up. Relatively...

One thing that I'd guess @OrsonKartt and @Jim Lahey perhaps face (or faced), I certainly do, is trying to push things a bit in order to put on some weight. My last fasting/low carb BG "plateau" (bad term I chose), now it seems, was mainly because of too much protein. And why did I consume a...

Thank you very much for your reply and the aspects you mentioned on it, @DCUKMod I've never tried the Libre or other kinds of constant monitoring. All my numbers are concluded from finger prick testing (I use One Day Touch Select Plus, have 2 units, so when I get weird results I double check...
