Hi All,
im looking for some advice. Im a type 2. I followed the ND for 2 months but was a little disappointed with my glycemic control at the end. While i had much improved fasting levels. They had normalised in the low 5's but my post meal levels when testing high carb foods were still very high. I didnt believe I had hit my personal fat threshold.
I then decided to continue my diet but follow the less restrictive low carb approach. After loosing more weight (10kg) my fasting levels have now normalised in the low to mid 4's.
My benchmark for testing carby food was the Tesco sweet chilli noodles.
My test after the ND were:
before: 5.6
1hr: 11.1
2hr: 8.7
4hr: 7.4
Next day fasting:5.7
My recent test after low carb'ing:
before:4.6
1hr:7.2
2hr:8.2
3hr:7.5
6hr:5
next day fasting:4.7
This is showing a great improvement. I peeked at ~8.2 and not 11.1 like after the ND.
But my question is, how close to normal is this response profile? I still have 15kg to lose so expect this to get better but do you think these readings are close to normal or more in-line with a well controlled diabetic.
Thanks
