    Dear @Goonergal, @Debandez, @BravoKilo, @Outlier, @valann, and @MrsA2, Thank you all for your responses. Apologies for the delay in response; I was down with a fever.

    Dear @all, First of all, thank you for all the help thus far. On this journey of mine, I am learning new things every day and checking my sensitivity to fruits every day. Today, I came across a video from Dr. Jason Fung, where he talks about how fructose is bad for us and that we should avoid...

    Dear @Debandez, Thank you for a quick response. Alright, that's a relief, as I was a bit worried about the fluctuations. For the FBS, I am taking the average reading of 87. I also did the glucose PP test. I did two to be sure and the results were: 115 and 120 (mg/dl). I have also lost quite a...
