As expected a little food, even no carb, has raised my fasting glucose to 6.0 this morning. Such a fun game

Hi again. I did say before that I wouldn’t post until my next A1C BUT…..I’ve been ill. Got my very first episode of diverticulitis, how fun! Sadly, I didn’t know and ended up in emergency three weeks later. The pain came and went so even though it was unusual I ignored it. What I had...

It’s been a week BUT I’ve had some other issues that would render any numbers useless. Spent last night in emergency with diverticulis. This has caused, over the past three weeks, high blood sugars along with other things. I didn’t realize how sick I really was….feeling better now with some...

After researching and reading some very interesting studies I decided to try Berberine and started on Sunday. Seems it takes a month to three months to see results. Although diet keeps me in the pre diabetic state it doesn’t get me any lower. My pancreas is not well….so I’ll give Berberine a...

I don’t have this issue any more but in the past I did! This YouTube site has amazing recipes and I highly recommend. ketoserts, just put that in your YouTube search.

Love this topic! I’ll be in Mexico for Christmas this year. I personally don’t have any issue with food, meaning I don’t crave sweets or goodies. I’m allergic to wheat and gluten and many nuts so I know I can’t eat the breads, cookies, cakes….I also can’t justify eating something that will...

Update. Seems most likely a pulled muscle, but will wait for labs for final result. This was a new doctor and I had a bit of a meltdown about blood sugars. She told me not to test! That went back and forth for a bit, I’m a tad stubborn, and finally I thought, maybe, just maybe, all the...

Pretty sure, we are air conditioned. You don’t live in south central British Columbia without central air!

Sadly 6.6 only carbs yesterday were ten blueberries with lunch, so definitely not diet. heat? Infection? Doctor today so maybe some answers its so smokey Here today and very hot (40 yesterday)

6.2 glucose levels still much higher than normal before and after meals. Doc appointment tomorrow, think there’s a kidney infection happening…

A surprising, in a good way, 5.8 the last few days have been rough, not feeling well. My after meal glucose levels have been high….and I don’t know why. Carbs are very low, maybe my pancreas is just shutting down or maybe I have an infection? I promised hubby that I’d call the doc tomorrow if...

A rather disappointing 6.5 this morning. Something very strange happened last night. Two hours after eating a super low carb supper (only carbs were a very tiny, four bites, garden tomato and five small fresh cherries) my blood glucose measured 9.3 (yes, I checked it twice…). This NEVER...

5.8 this morning. I’ve hurt my back, my own fault, and I’m suffering..ouch. No gym yesterday, today and likely tomorrow. I did manage my 10,000 steps yesterday though so that’ll do. Hope everyone enjoys their weekend! It’s a hot one here and only getting hotter into the coming week…blah

A happy 5.7 this morning.

That’s what I was hoping for….but not really sure I have any stored sugars (ok, I honestly know everyone does…). I’m very tiny, at five foot seven and 115 pounds soaking wet. I have eaten low carb for years, zero sugar for the past two years. totally disappointed with this mornings...

Hi from Canada….think I’ll start posting in this thread, I find it very interesting I’m adding the last week of results Aug 3: 5.5 Aug 4: 6.3 Aug 5: 5.4 Aug 6: 5.4 Aug 7: 6.0 Aug 8: 5.7 Aug 9: 5.3 to see anything in the 5’s is amazing to me! I went totally carnivore for three months and my A1C...

Thanks oldvatr, I absolutely cannot go low calorie! I’m tiny! Five feet seven and i weight 115 lbs….I need lots of food!

Super interesting conversation! here’s my update. my initial diagnosis back in October of 2022, was because I had A1C of 6.5. I attributed it to the tamoxifen I was taking for breast cancer…it is a side effect. I doubled down on the low carb, ditched the tamoxifen, and for six months my diet...

I say no. I am a lean mass hyper responder and have high LDL, low triglycerides and high HDL. My doctor tried just a few days ago to have me take them, I politely said no. do your due diligence and research statins. Check out the newest research. We need cholesterol to live live….

I understand exactly what you are saying! I’m heartbroken that after three months of eating under five grams of carbs a day my A1C went from 6.0 to 6.3. I am beyond frustrated! My LDL also went sky high, high enough for my doc to text me with her concerns. So, that didn’t work. I’m adding a...
