Normal is 11 or less….I’d say you’re positive and a type one

First a huge congratulations to you for quitting smoking! That is an amazing task and you really need to celebrate that. From your post I can tell you are ready and you know what to do…so…no more excuse, just do it. Honestly if you can quit he highly addictive smoking you are a darn superhero...

Matt…first I’ll try to regenerate those pesky beta cells! Resting my pancreas was a factor for sure. Carnivore was my choice, although doc does know I eat very low carb…she just doesn’t know the extreme. I’d rather not do insulin until I have to although the thought of eating somewhat normally...

I’ve been carnivore for about two months now after a good two years of low carb (zero sugar). I certainly don’t spike at all but still would love to see lower glucose numbers. just curious, to the other carnivores, what are your levels like? my morning numbers are anywhere from 5.2 to...

Thanks Matt…that’s exactly what I was looking at. I did have a requisition for the GADa test with lifelabs but they told me they had no idea what it was. I’m now armed with the required info for “next time”. my pancreas is damaged from a previous serious attack of pancreatitis so that could...

I am the skinny “type 2”. Even eating a carnivore diet I still struggle with glucose higher than I think it should be (last A1C was 6.0%). It’s incredibly frustrating. I also walk at least 10,000 steps daily, weight lift and do yoga. I would LOVe to get the GADA test but in Canada it’s not...

I have a wheat and gluten allergy, no fun at all. BUT…I’m not vegetarian in any way, shape, or form. I won’t tell you what I eat but I have heard that lupin based products are a good replacement for oatmeal. I believe they’re called Lupini flakes…try Amazon. Very low carb. Maybe lupin flour...

I use a New Zealand grass fed whey isolate. Love it. In Canada I order from Canadian protein but no idea where you might find it…

For me, yes. I am a very active person …(it never lowers my glucose) but when we walk in the heat (I’m talking 30 degrees) my sugars get their highest. I test every night after our walk (two hours after meal) and the hot days are significantly higher. Since I eat carnivore there are zero...

My morning sugars are generally a little high and continue to rise unles I eat. I am doing carnivore for three months so I eat a bowl of ground beef and have some butter for breakfast. This absolutely keeps my sugars down.

I eat a small bowl of ground beef with salt and a few slices of butter….and coffee with heavy cream

I tried all the tricks, embedded in arm two days before activation…but the libres were awful. Readings were incredibly inconsistent and downright wrong (as compared to prick test). Waste of money. Caused stress always. iwas so careful with placement, watched videos and followed manufacturers...

I’m full carnivore and workout six days a week, lifting heavy. I have energy to burn! I’m a 66 year old female. Never, ever felt better. Carbs were literally poison to me….wish I had known sooner. You don’t need carbs….your body can make glucose via gluconeogenisis. some interesting...

I believe you want a fasting insulin test. If your number is high you are insulin resistant.

That encyclopedia excerpt was so interesting! I still vividly remember when low fat was introduced, what a disaster! Eat your fat! Don’t eat carbs…it’s so darn easy.

This is so interesting. Both my shoulders have been weird since libre. I never thought of the connection but now wonder. I don’t wear it any more because it was so incredibly inaccurate. I lift weights, always have, and never an issue with shoulders. so….what is that little needle made of?

Well done! What a great set of labs, you should be chuffed!

I’ve been low carb for a long time and the only issue for me is international travel. I’m very good at knowing good from bad but sometimes it’s all bad….. I eat high fat and don’t worry about it. From all my research there is no known mechanism that turns saturated fat into cholesterol. Newest...

My libre 2 was hopelessly inaccurate. Triple check with a blood prick. If unsure please go to a facility that can double check for you

I’ve always stuck to three a day
