@Rachox interesting to know that covid a viral infection had no effect on your BG, wonder if its the same for others too,not only covid but influenza too. Like you said it might be different for diff people hopefully others contribute too. Have you taken the vaccine? if yes how did it affect...

Even a common cold can raise blood sugar even more with anyone with any type of diabetes. So out of curiousity how much was your BG when you had a cold,UTI e.t.c? PS: this is for people who are on keto or lchf diet. Since we barely eat any glucose i am curious to see if it still raises and how...

I am new to the "macro nutrient in food" business but when i read the labels it usually says carbs in 100ml of milk is 4.5g!! How come when milk is lactose which is glucose? So i assume its all water then a little percent of milk is lactose. Or are the 4.5 grams only sugar but the lactose is...

I have been struggling with weight loss all my life, i was always over weight but i never lost weight as much as quickly as i did with a keto diet. Lost 20 kg never achieved that in my life. So please try keto diet even if you don't lose alot of weight your blood work will get better. Its easy...

Even if you glucogen level are depleted your liver will still make glucose to use in the body by turning fats or protien into glucose. Your blood cell can only use glucose as energy for example so there must be some amount of glucose in your blood stream

same principal you lowered you BG with insulin too much and the liver over compensate

Have anyone else noticed this? the more low carb you go or even NO CARBS the more your morning BG is high. Its like your liver is trying to compensate for the very low carb but doesn't realize your body is insulin resistant

Interesting view point about the kidneys, most LCHF diet users eat protein already puting strain on the kidneys then add metformine which is extra. As for the B12 i eat alot of red meat i don't know how much metformine will effect my b12 levels. However would it be interesting to try it for...

i don't know how but my wife made one using only heavy cream, cocoa and a blender!!

Thank you for your feedback guys i think you both covered the two opinions about metformin and meds in general. I decided to go full keto diet(below 20g or below 5% of my calories from carbs) and take 500mg of metformin for 3 months. Self experiement and see what happens might even go full...

Today i checked my morning BG ,after not checking for a long time cause it was always below 5.6%, and the BG was 5.8. A reminder of my insulin resisttance. Metformins function is to lower insulin resistance in the muscles so i figured when on a LCHF diet why not take metformin. I watched some...

Its sometimes weeks for me and when i do check it never above 95 or 5.27. Thats only sometimes mostly its below 90 or 5. Why should i check when i barely eat any carbs. I even decided to check my HbA1c once in 6 months before i was checking once in 3 months my last HbA1c was 5.5

Last summer was the first time i was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. In late august i started my lchf diet with great result,my recent Hb1Ac recently is 5.4%(35.5mmol). But summer is back and with this hot humid air you can't help but think about the cold drinks you enjoyed every summer like a...

I love peanuts and i don't think ill ever stop eating them even though its high in carbs (21g in 100g), good news is its a very good source of magnesium. I don't suppliments or pills especial when it comes to essensial minerals or vitamins

The time it takes for you to get your blood sugar under control through a proper diet you get used to the diet. After you have your sugar under control it can be like a reward/ cheat day to go out once in a while. You need to find restaurants to serve the diet you choose find things you like. I...

Its because of the lock down most people are less active. I got my diagnosis when the pandemic started and had to stay for 3 months at home eating sitting on my butt 24/7
