50 grams or less carbs a day. 20 grams if you want ketosis. Look for Keto / lowcarbs recipes on Youtube. There are thousand of them. There are "hidden" carbs in most foods that you think is OK to eat. Even in vegetables. Bulgur and porridge oats is no good for keto. Look on the package for...

Thanks to keto diet and intermittent fasting I have been without T2D consistently for 21 months. Weekdays 16 hours of fasting, weekends 20 hours of fasting. Carbs about 50 gr per day. Weight is 66.5 Kg, BMI 24.1 Measuring BG levels daily, always under 7 mmo/l or less. Due to the COVID-19 there...

I've had another HBA1c test today and it has jumped up from 37 to 42 the last time measured 6 months ago. I don't understand why. My food intake has not changed, I am eating the same low carb food as before. As far as I know, nothing has changed. On the plus side, some more weight loss since...

Yes, indeed. It takes a lot of willpower. I have done it. HBA1c 37 for the last year. No Meds. I wish I knew years ago what I know now, it has taken a long time until I have learned what must be done. Cannot let up, because if you do, it will come back again and I don't want that to happen...

I am in remission for a year now. Diagnosed with diabetes at HBA1c 91, now it is Hba1c 37. Low carb high-fat food and intermittent fasting. Almost any food can be altered/reworked to make it keto-friendly. Youtube has thousands of recipes to follow. Just search for Keto food. I even make my...

I think I am in remission with zero diabetes medication for a year. Of course, it is diet (LCHF, IF controlled.

Dr. J. Fung explains:

I don't think you'll find anyone with Hi carb low fat in remission. Not going to happen. How can it?

The ketogenic diet (very low carb) is to make the body use ketones (fat) instead of carbs (sugar) as fuel. Intermittent fasting is accelerating the process. There are tons of Youtube videos with advice and recipes available. Apparently it is a very popular diet, not just for diabetes but also...

No, to achieve remission you need low carb diet, <30 gr per day, and intermittent fasting 16 hours per day as a lifestyle, not just for a short time. If you want it to work, Hba1c 37 and falling. Measure your GL after each meal until you find the correct foods that do not raise your GL...

I have also made good progress with a low carb diet from Hba1c 48 to 37 in 8 months. Also lost 7 KG in weight as a bonus. Stopped taking meds (Glucophage SR 500mg) with the consent of the DN. Yes, low carb, 20-30 gr per day is the key. It can be done. NHS recommends 150 gr carbs per day...

Had my yearly session with the diabetes nurse, and discussed the results (Hbac1 37), she was very pleased and surprised. It was agreed to stop taking medication (Glucophage SR 1x 500 mg daily), subject to review in six month time. But to maintain this, it must become a way of life. Low carb...

Just had my Hba1c report: 37 (5.5%) Best yet! Quite pleased with the results. Low carb diet works. And 7 Kg lighter.

Fasting 16 hours daily, no snacks between meals. Diluted apple cider vinegar with liquid stevia daily. One vitamin B12 with my...

Indeed, whatever works for you.

Well, I am doing it because I want to reverse my diabetes completely and stop taking meds.

I am doing a keto diet, reduced carbs to <30 gr per day. Average glucose levels after meals are 5.5 - 6.5 constant. I make bread in a mug with almond flour, or coconut flour mixed, takes 1 minute and 30 seconds in the microwave, the recipe on Youtube. Absolutely no grain (bread, pasta)...
