Well done. Progress is progress. Keep it up.

Always break longer fasts with a liquid food. Bone broth, clear veg soup are good choices. Avoid jumping right into solid foods. Theblonger you fast, the longer should be the transition to solid foods. Also avoid foods that are acidic. When you're ready to take solid foods, take in small...

2mmol is too low isn't it

Yes used to check initially but I now take readings only if i suspect anything odd with food or how I feel. Usually it returns to premeal level in 2 hours.

Well that's my concern too if you read few of my comments above. Indian vegetarian diet has 99% of options high in carb. Best we can do is to limit the portion size and have it with high fibre, high fat accompaniments. My body is handling it pretty decent. Comes to 140mg/dl in 2 hours.

Right, I meant I don't eat fruits earlier anyway.

I have never tested my blood sugar levels before so I can only guess based on when I noticed few of the symptoms (feet numbness, mood swings). My ball park is at least since 2018-2019.

Sure will keep fruits to minimum.

Yes but not always. I test post prandial levels only during breakfast. Thanks for your advice, I then gotta use carbs as occassional treats and compensate (with fasting or workouts) if my levels shoot up. I am losing my carbs craving slowly anyway. Bigger problem is lack of choice. Keto and...

That makes lot of sense. I will start looking at carbs as occasional treats

Yes I'm happy but it feels like life suddenly got busy and demanding. Alternate day fasting, 48 hour long fasting once a month. No sugar, fruit as it was earlier No processed foods Low carb, high fat 30 mins HIIT, weight training on alternate days 1 hour jogging on weekends Conciously avoiding...

I am not sure how it can be normal as diabetes/insulin resistance is caused by high insulin in the body. It should be actually abnormally high after all these years of high glucose (I wouldnt have reached 11.9% in months i believe).

Thanks for all your insights. I seldom drink alcohol, consume sweetened beverages, ice cream, confectionaries, dairy and cakes. I wasnt addicted to any type of food especially sugar. Have been sugar free for about 2 years now. As an South Asian vegan, my diet is high in carbs though and there...

Hi. I was diagnosed as Type 2 (a1c was 11.9%). Now trying to improve without meds or insulin. Last a1c was 8.9%. expecting a much further drop in next one. I am very confused with the state I was in when i was diagnosed. Sugar levels were dangerously high but i was wondering if it was just an...

Thanks Chris. I take inspiration from countless warriors in communities such as this.

Hello I'm Shankar, 39, Male. Type 2. Looking forward to learn from and conyribute to the community.

Welcome to the forum. Light headedness and lack of energy despite eating is a sign of glucose starvation at cellular level which also could have led to high blood sugar levels by now. Regardless, you should start monitoring your fasting blood sugar levels (first thing after your wake up in...

I'm 38 year old South Asian male from a family with diabetes and liver cirrhosis history. I got diagnosed in July after a regular full body checkup. HBA1c was 11.9%. FBG was 290 mg/dl. Post prandial was 450. I also got diagnosed with Grade 1 fatty liver with all the usual macros we could...
