Do loose heart of a remission .. I can eat whatever carbs I want now with no impact on my bs .. but I choose to stay with my LCHF way of eating because I like itOuch!
But that's why I'm always surprised when someone claims reversal based on a normal (or prediabetic) reading after eating a low carb diet. I consider that control - which will vanish with the reintroduction of carbs. Sorry you learned the hard way!
Well Pearls transparent soap for one and I think dove soaps as well I tend now to clean my hands prior to testing by rinsing with just plain old running tap water and then drying thoroughly. The only way to really be sure is to test before and after washing hands with a particular soap I avoid any heavily scented or perfumed soaps.That's good to know John, thank you. Do you remember any brands that you've used in the past which has impacted your results so I can avoid them?
I'm still working on remission (you are in remission, by my definition). I've moved the needle a bit - an OGTT now puts me at prediabetic, and my BG has been consistently low enough this week (the peak, so far, after eating, is 6.1) that I'm hoping I have moved it a bit farther, although I'm not testing it by dumping carbs at it just yet.Do loose heart of a remission ..

through it had mint sauce on it so didn't finish it :-S :-( Lesson learnt.
To be honest I didn't want to get that diagnosis officially because it means my insurance costs stay lower - especially after my SAH and high BP etc. Around 4 years ago I was turned down for life insurance due to my medical history - so I don't want anything else to work against me :-S
Yes I was tucking in merrily and not even really registering it was on there until half way through and suddenly thinking OMG...what have I done...I'm eating mint sauce (which hubby had ordered for me without thinking) which is why I left the rest of it. Being vigilant isn't second nature to me at the moment but it will need to be. Thank god I haven't got a serious peanut allergy. I shall blame brain fog! xxIt's possible that the Mint Sauce was the culprit. Unless you made it yourself it will contain quite a bit of sugar.
Really? wow...I'm in the UK and the insurance companies seem to do what they like.If you're in the US, all that changed with the affordable care act. You can't be turned down, or charged more, for pre-existing conditions. (Due to way too many, and way too costly ($60,000+/year, every year), health conditions in our family I keep a very close watch on this.
Hmm...I had the impression that there was some form of state sponsored health care in the UK - which is why I thought you might be from the US (where a lot of people still don't know access to health insurance was one of the main changes from the affordable care act. I've helped more people than I can count get insurance when they thought nothing would be available to them).Really? wow...I'm in the UK and the insurance companies seem to do what they like.
