I’m not overweight, never have been and I was diagnosed in October….even while eating low carb (no grains in five years, zero sugar). I believe mine was aggravated by tamoxifen (just because I never wanted to take it..) but really it’s likely due to either LADA or pancreatic diabetes(I suffered...

Used to fast but fond my blood sugar would rise is the morning if I didn’t eat a bit…so breakfast is about half a cup of cooked ground beef and a couple of bites of butter, coffee with full fat cream (some strict carnivores do no do dairy, I do) lunch is almost always bacon and eggs supper is...

Eggs actually do have a small amount of carbs, .6 grams per egg. Still likely not an amount to worry about. Everyone is different and you should experiment with yourself. Personally I can’t have any carbs. For breakfast it’s ground beef (mince?) and some butter, coffee with full fat cream...

I hate mine, it’s so inaccurate! Not buying any more. I have had six, all wonky as heck. I’m always doing a blood draw because I don’t trust it at all. What I thought would bring me peace of mine has done anything but…luckily I am diet controlled (type presently up in the air)not type one so...

Before my blood glucose issues I was diagnosed with severe wheat and gluten allergies (adult onset). I cried, bread was my life….I tried all the gluten free loaves, horrid, every single one. I had rice wraps for awhile and made my own gluten free bread. Yuk, nothing compares to real bread...

2tbsp before meals. Now, my diagnosis is being reviewed now and I don’t think I’m type 2 ( normal c peptide, active, no weight issues but do have pancreatic damage from pancreatitis) maybe it works for a true type 2. Won’t hurt you, give it a go.

Tried it, got terrible results. Actually spiked the glucose for me. remember, the vinegar will harm your teeth, use a straw and rinse or brush your teeth immediately!

Please checkout the YouTube channel called Low Carb Down Under, it has a wealth of information on this and other low carb topics. Search Dr Paul Mason on that channel, he had some very interesting talks on this exact subject.

The tamoxifen thing annoyed me to no end. My research showed (published studies)a large increase in type two in older women (65+) and it’s NOT on their inserts. I’ve been off it for six months, almost, so the retesting will be interesting. I used to intermittently fast, no breakfast, but found...

I am unfamiliar with the testing protocols in your country (I’m Canadian) but what other testing has been done? Have you been tested for type one, or LADA? Have you had a C Peptide test (for insulin levels)? How low carb was your diet? You may have to go zero carb or very low carb (less than...

I am currently zero carb but before that I would occasionally use the innofoods keto granola (Costco, Canada…but assume it’s everywhere). 8 total grams of carbs per 1/3 cup. I would put it in full fat Greek yogurt. When we travelled to India I brought a bag and it saved me from being very...

Been lurking for a bit, thought I should join my name is Lorain, I’ll soon be 66 and am Canadian, currently live in south central British Columbia. diagnosed with type 2, but I think that’s wrong and will chat with my doctor next week for further testing As my C peptide numbers were normal but...
