My morning sugars are generally a little high and continue to rise unles I eat. I am doing carnivore for three months so I eat a bowl of ground beef and have some butter for breakfast. This absolutely keeps my sugars down.

I eat a small bowl of ground beef with salt and a few slices of butter….and coffee with heavy cream

I tried all the tricks, embedded in arm two days before activation…but the libres were awful. Readings were incredibly inconsistent and downright wrong (as compared to prick test). Waste of money. Caused stress always. iwas so careful with placement, watched videos and followed manufacturers...

I’m full carnivore and workout six days a week, lifting heavy. I have energy to burn! I’m a 66 year old female. Never, ever felt better. Carbs were literally poison to me….wish I had known sooner. You don’t need carbs….your body can make glucose via gluconeogenisis. some interesting...

I believe you want a fasting insulin test. If your number is high you are insulin resistant.

That encyclopedia excerpt was so interesting! I still vividly remember when low fat was introduced, what a disaster! Eat your fat! Don’t eat carbs…it’s so darn easy.

This is so interesting. Both my shoulders have been weird since libre. I never thought of the connection but now wonder. I don’t wear it any more because it was so incredibly inaccurate. I lift weights, always have, and never an issue with shoulders. so….what is that little needle made of?

Well done! What a great set of labs, you should be chuffed!

I’ve been low carb for a long time and the only issue for me is international travel. I’m very good at knowing good from bad but sometimes it’s all bad….. I eat high fat and don’t worry about it. From all my research there is no known mechanism that turns saturated fat into cholesterol. Newest...

My libre 2 was hopelessly inaccurate. Triple check with a blood prick. If unsure please go to a facility that can double check for you

I’ve always stuck to three a day

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...
