Hello Everyone
Backstory: Was diagnosed as a type 2 at the end of June with a hba1c of 13.3%. I've been low carbing, excercising, losing weight over the last four months and I had my latest hba1c test last week and it has come in at 5.6% or 38mmol/mol which puts me into the non diabetic range.
My question is for those of you in remission who aren't keto but low carb and have been in remission for a long period, do you ever have the occasional day off and enjoy a plate of pasta, a regular ice cream, a few slices of normal pizza, a small serving of chips etc and still get good numbers? I'm fine eating low carb the majority of the time but I'd really like to be able to eat an occasional treat without pushing myself into high unhealthy numbers again.
Any tips, words of wisdom etc for me?
