Great post...100% agree with the resources links AND the wonderful forum we have
Hi
@Schmoukes .
Welcome to the club NO ONE wants to join.
Good answers above.
Personally for me, the morning FBG came down in stages...10's month one.. Then 9's the next,
(Though to be fair, looking back at my records, I think I may of had T2D issues back in 2011, that were not picked up, so perhaps longer term then a few, sadly)
But within 4/5 months, My fbg was into the 6's on a daily basis.
Now run at mid 5's/low 6's most days 13 months after DX.
Hit normal HBA1c numbers 10 months after going LCHF.
My advise ?
Keep on doing what your doing, get the meter and tinker away at reducing the foods that spike.
Try not to get to hung up on the numbers, and stressing over them.. You'll see them come down as you go.. We all go at a different pace.
The phrase you'll hear a lot, cos it's so true...
Is it's a Marathon, NOT a sprint.
Seen more then one or two get low, real quick,
Who may not of found the lifestyle..(yep, lifestyle NOT Diet ) sustainable.
I hope I'm wrong and they've gone on to live beautiful low carb lives without the need to post.
So go at YOUR own pace, FAST or SLOW, because THAT is the one that gives YOU the best chance for staying the course, getting into normal or pre diabetic numbers, and then turning around and offering that successful strategy of YOURS, to the the next batch of new members.
