The milk/cream whatever you like is probably fine for blood sugar control. It might not be great for dieting/fasting/ketosis as I would expect it to stimulate an insulin response and insulin is a fat storage hormone.

I don't have much issue with insulin as I only use a pen with a 4mm head on it and injecting into the abdomen is not painful at all if I take care. I find the finger pricking more painful. My body is capable of making insulin, but there is something wrong when it comes to releasing it. The idea...

Hi Debbie, I have MODY 12, I was originally thought to have type 1 about 6 months ago. I would not be surprised if you had a MODY variant. I was on insulin but have stopped about 6 weeks ago after doing keto for a while, but lately things for me are a little similar. I think I will likely be...

There is a lot of conflicting information for diabetics. Was told I was 90% likely type 1 diabetic in May with a hbA1c of 104 and a weight of 14 stone 4lb. I have not had another hbA1c but today my cgm tells me my estimated hbA1c is 34 and my weight is now 12 stone 12 lb and I'm about 7lb away...

Possibly not T2? How many ketones? What does he drink? Any snacking on fruit? Most people will feel tired switching to a low carb diet, it can take a while to become fat adapted.

Perhaps the reading was false? You could always wash hands and test again. Protein can spike blood glucose due to a process caused gluconeogenesis, it can have around 20/30% of the effect of carbs. Although it looks like you had some fats, so I doubt it was this. Sometimes high activity levels...

Pistachio nuts, but maybe no more than 100g?

I have been recently really trying to get my higher readings down in the morning. From what i've looked at as we get ready to wake the liver releases glucose into the blood stream and the body also sees an increase in hormones such as growth hormone. I've found that the only way for me to...

Was wondering if anyone had ever tried inducing autophagy to repair neuropathy. Apparently autophagy can be induced with long fasts (3 day+ fasts). I have found after a 36 hour fast my blood glucose has gone very low, although probably not quite as low as my libre 2 thinks.

Bacon and eggs for breakfast instead? Or skip breakfast altogether?

Two hbA1c in 6 weeks? Red Blood cells have a lifespan of 3-4 months, so I don't think it makes much sense to test so close together. Half of the result will reflect on the 6 weeks before you changed your diet. If it was somehow possible to do a hbA1c that just looked at 6 weeks it would...

I put mine in and scan it. 1 hour and its good to go for me.

This works for me. I skip breakfast and have a big lunch and try to have an early/small meal for dinner around 5pm, or I just skip that if I'm not hungry.

Chicken Thighs Chipolatas (or low carb sausages) Eggs

Anyone had a similar experience? My girlfriend had gestational diabetes which was diet controlled. Out of curiosity I tested my blood sugar with her kit and got a reading of 23mmol. I continued to test my BG for a week and didn't have a reading below 16mmol. I went to see my GP (who I hadn't...
