Just out of interest and yes, straying off topic a little - what test was done for the insulin resistance HOMA-IR or OGTT?

I did mean to mention that glucose levels are only controlled after a meal, which is when they spike of course but averages would not be changed all that much if you are using CGM device. So again, its nothing more than a tool to prevent post prandial spikes but that in itself does allow more...

Hi Goonergal, I know that a few diabetes reversal programs use it as a strategy to minimise the BGL spikes after meals but its not the answer to fixing the problem. I agree diet has the most effect long term and I'm only keeping it under control with exercise as a short term management strategy...

Thats really interesting about following the Dr Fuhrmans way of eating. I'm searching around for all the info I can get hold of and my preference is to eat whole foods and be plant based. His diet is not very low carb or high fat but seems somewhere in the middle. Your A1c result is...

Hi veryanxious, if you want to follow a vegan diet with no oil and make it well suited to Indian way of eating, there is an endocrinologist in Florida, USA by the name of Dr Soham Patel. His website has plenty of info on what to do and I think he runs online courses too. It would be worth...

Appreciate the feedback here - its a great site. I dont think its quite right though to link carbs with causing diabetes if I understand that is what is being said, but I know refined junk carbs like sodas , candy, white bread and pastries sure play havoc with blood sugars and need to be...

Many thanks Quinn. You seem to have got quite impressive results as measured by A1c test but wondering if you have had an OGTT in recent times and what results you got on that.

Thanks Mike. I was looking for informed comments, not advice, but thanks for taking the time to reply in any case.

I use exercise to control my blood glucose. I follow the guidelines given by Dr Wes Younberg in the US. This guy seems to have great success with reversing type 2 diabetes and his protocol is to do light to moderate exercise IMMEDIATELY after a meal. Apparently, even with bad insulin resistance...

I am interested to hear if anyone has used the Abbott Freestyle libre continuous monitoring system to monitor their glucose levels if they have type 2 diabetes. I'm regularly monitoring (4 times a day) with lancets and finger pricking but not much fun. I know the Libre system is aimed at type...

I'm trying to work out the best diet to use to deal with type 2. currently not on meds and keeping well controlled with lots of exercise mainly. I read a lot about claims of diabetes reversal / cure / remission by following a keto or low carb diet but they seem to only use fasting glucose or...

I'm new to the site so excuse me if I'm not using the right forum....... I have tried keto a few times but much prefer to be on a vegan diet, which is pretty hard on the keto/low carb ones I tried before. I felt terribly unwell after a week or 2 of trying and gave it up. Still struggling...
