Thanks for your response. May I please know what you refer to as 38 and 39 and what units? I am guessing that it is HbA1C in mmol/mol, but I would like to be clear. [emoji3]

Thanks for your thoughts. I have achieved the weight loss side of the equation 12kg in 2 months, down to a BMI of 23.5, which I WILL maintain. Carbs, a little and not too often seems to be the rule. Wholewheat bread and some home brewed ale, are the things dreams are made off. I make bread and...

I’m beginning to get the picture. Carb creep - I like that. Thanks, but no binges just yet.

Firstly, thank you all for your helpful comments. So what I am understanding from your replies is a little confusing. While we all strive for reversal, it is never complete! Let me explain. Reversal is generally regarded as getting A1C down to, and maintaining it at, an agreed level. Complete...

As you suggest experiment with what I can tolerate, which I have started, tentatively. For example I only drink at weekends, today, Sunday, I have had 400ml beer and I expect my glucose to be below 6 in morning. I may eat a slice of bread tomorrow to see what happens. With the flozin I can...

Worrying, I want a sandwich and a beer. Are you still, or were ever, on medication? If you stopped was it immediate or gradually, say ½ a pill then ¼ etc…

I have just looked at success testimonials, they are inspiring. Maybe I should have posted there but I am well aware that I am not out of the woods yet. Dirty keto - sounds like fun!

Okay here’s the deal, two months ago I was diagnosed with T2D, (HgA1c 6.6%) following a heart attack (stent fitted, pump working well). I was prescribed Empagliflozin. My objective following this diagnosis was to get my diabetes under control by rapid weight loss, no carbs, and reducing my blood...

Brew your own. My latest brew an English Bitter, ABV 3.8%, has 12g carbs in 330ml I allow myself at most 4 220ml portions a week.

Yes I am familiar with all of those that you mention, but Jason Fung‘s book lays it all out very clearly and can be ready at leisure. I’ve also watched a few of his YouTube videos. What I am particularly interested in and I would be very pleased to receive some advice is that once I have got...

I have been on OMAD now for just over a month, I have lost nearly 10 kg and my blood sugar is good. See attached a typical meal grilled chicken breast and some veggies. In the morning I have one cup of tea with a splash of milk and lunchtime one cup of coffee with a splash of milk. Occasionally...

For what it is worth, while on a fasting regime, I occasionally snack (a few pieces) of homemade pickled cucumber made with ACV. And by the way I do this because I like them, and they are virtually carb free, not because of any beneficial effect that there may be from ACV.

Thanks for your encouragement, I will win or die in the attempt [emoji3]. After reading Jason Fung’s book I crunched some numbers to see just how much glucose there should be in healthy blood. Blood glucose of 6.7 mmol/L = 120mg/dL = 1.2g/L with about 6L of blood in body that is 7.2g of glucose...

The Doc who fitted my stent recommended a low fat diet. Having read up on the issue I have not taken his advice but gone the low carb route.

Thank you for your wisdom. Email conversation with Doc (great guy) yesterday who told me to stick with the statins and told me in his Email - There are studies about reversal of high statin doses. I will check these out. Not in UK, but in Philippines where diabetes is rife and getting good...
