I have been following keto program since the 28th Dec last year. I am due the Ist week in April to get my next HBA1c test results. The tests before that were 7.7 (61) so am expecting much better results this time. Doc usually gives me the pathology slip for the next set of tests and I...

Thanks David, I am already fasting 24 hrs. Only having dinner and making sure I have eaten before 6pm. Tonight I am going to add exercise straight after I have eaten and then do the ACV before bed. I normally exercise 1st thing in the morning to get it down from the morning high so will...

Have only been doing this a couple of months and quite happy with progress however it’s never too late to fine tune.

I am T2, doing Keto and OMAD and due to have next lot of HBA1c early April. Does anyone have a process that they follow to deal with the DP? My BGL most mornings is between 7 and 8.4. I am concerned that these levels will affect the test adversely. We normally eat before 6pm and I don’t...

Just found who it was...Dr Stephanie Estima Founder of The Keto Clean Program

No it wasn’t him it was a lady doctor. I’ll have a look and see if I can find the link.

That’s true. I’m off now to investigate a shop down the road that specialises in organic whole foods etc and get myself some kimchi and some proper yoghurt. Just going to use these next couple of days being kind to my gut. Thanks for the input.

I haven’t found a definitive set of rules yet. The info is all a bit disjointed.

Not sure what you mean.

I’m OMAD. Have a couple of coffees with cream before lunchtime, drink iced tea with mint after that until dinner which can be anywhere from 4.30 to 6pm depending on how hungry I am. Didn’t eat on Sunday as I was in too much pain but Saturday’s dinner was Spicy chicken wings with cabbage that...

I wasn’t bloated when I started. The only sweetener I use is a small amount in my coffee. Don’t eat processed foods at all and everything is cooked from scratch. I did wonder about a food intolerance but can’t pin what it would be. I thought the bloating could be perhaps a lack of fibre....but...

Me too, until I delved into it just a bit yesterday. Only found the info whilst looking for why I was so bloated. Seems like it’s time for me to now fine tune it all. So many opinions on line and so little time to figure out what’s the best. I use my meter a lot to check foods but not...

From what I have read, it is balanced eating with focus on vegetables, fat and a medium amount of protein. Most of the plate should be vegetables. Too much protein can still spike even if you are VLC. The long term focus is on healthy balanced eating. Even though I have done well thus far...

Am suffering from bloating and in pain for the last week. Have been following keto diet for 8 weeks and have lost 5.2kgs and gone down from size 12-14 to a loose size 10. My current weight is 66kgs and I am T2. I am due for next lot of testing early April and last test was 7.4. After doing an...

You just have to hang in there and show them that you are serious.

Perhaps when they see how well you are doing they will be curious enough to ask.

When I was diagnosed as pre diabetic, I wish I knew then what I know now. My dad is a diabetic and is in a bad way. He never took his disease seriously and continued to just drink smoothies etc that were made from primarily fruit. Always had a jar of peanuts (choc Coated) alongside his chair...

I’m reading this and feeling quite emotional for some reason. I had been pre diabetic for many years and didn’t realise that I could have changed it. Found an old food diary over the last few days and can’t believe how bad the numbers were no matter how “healthy” I ate. Made my own bread...

I am taking Janumet XR once a day. Started low carb/keto 4 weeks ago and my ketone reading is 40. During the day my levels are in the 6 and 7s. However my morning readings are always up in the 8s. Should I take the Janumet on an empty tummy first thing in the morning. Should I change when...

Perfect and Thank you. I’ll add these to my list.
