I expected the increase to be there. But I also read it takes a few days to get back to better carbs tolerance. I am not seeing it personally, spiking just like I did on low carb.

Been eating more carbs ... so far, I do not see an improvement. I noticed that my BG goes up really quickly up to 8 mmol/l, where it then stays for an hour or two, then starts slowly as a turtle to come down. What does this indicate of?

@DCUKMod Talked with the doc. She said: "carbs should be consumed before physical activity. Also, eat less frequently and sometimes practice intermittent fasting. This should improve insulin sensitivity.". In other words, she does not think my issues are very pathological. But I probably have...

I will try a month from now. Assuming my higher carb woe experiment works out. I was told that if one consumes enough carbs, extra glucose in diet requires more T3 to process so it should increase. It is a shame that I do not have blood results before. But during university, I was eating lots of...

Thanks, this makes sense. It took me a while to get into ketosis, and it might take sometime to see where my real carb limits are. I should listen and trust to the doctor and see what happens.

It is weird. I was negative for antibodies 2 years ago. Never retested after. I guess since this forum is as close as I can get to various experiences held by many, I am interested in science that explains my situation. It is too early to tell if resistance or whatever this is reverses, it has...

It was endocrinologist specialising in diabetes but also knows about thyroid issues. My FT3 is something like that: bottom range is 3.38 - (3.34 - 5.14), FT4 is 16.62 (7.87 - 20.14), TSH is 2.21 (0.4 - 3.6) My c-peptide measured in summer was very low at 1.0 ng/ml (0.9-4) range. I did not...

History: 2017 December, acetone smell in my mouth, stomach pain and +++ glucose in urine after 4 days of stress at work, not eating much in the process. Normal A1c, fasting tests. Jumped on low carb diet until finding out the cause. Failed OGTT at diabetic levels via GP referral (while on low...

Yes. What caused me and him to be LATE to get back down to normal? Is it resistance or not enough insulin, or both ...

Lol, good luck to me. I had zero help from my GP and they are not going to send me to an endo again, maybe except if any values like hba1c are diabetic. But they are not. I don't even need to measure HbA1c, all my codefree showings are always below 6.0 mmol/l most of the time, so average is...

What is responsible for this condition though? Why is our body letting glucose to reach high levels and then overcompensate with insulin to crash the person? What is it if not diabetes?

I have a thread made here, but my experience was worse - I peeked at 14.2 mmol/l and went down to 3.9 mmol/l at 3.5 hours. I honestly am not sure about the problem - it seems like some people claim to have a 'carb up before' view while others say it does not matter. I do not know what is right...

What also interests me if the following - if one takes OGTT during low carb diet, what happens? Will BG rise sharply upwards because of 1) or 2), or both 1) Actual insulin resistance induced by ketogenic state - glucose is spared for essential organs while all other cells run on ketones. So...

Well, we just had confirmations from way less neurotic people in first page that they feel unwell with highish glucose, not diabetic levels. I think it is body's response to unusual homeotasis state, because it just NEVER went there. Type 2 diabetics get used to high glucose over time. Or type...

Okay, let me elaborate...I feel like this discussion is going to be useful for people. Before onset of symptoms, which were actually not caused by diabetes, I Dr, Googled it wrong. I have gone on keto diet because Internet told me to until I find out if it is diabetes. I was tested via HbA1c...

I do not want to trash on that website, but I honestly heard doctors mention it is bunk. The studies cited their are highly contested. However, that website is playing on safe side - it has high standards for normal glucose levels and I think is very right. My own doctor mentioned that...

And how do these friends spiking towards those values feel? Sleepy, carb coma? Any sweating or feeling weird? It depends on your standards. Do you want to heed advice of science that claim above 7.8 starts inflicting damage and keep inflicting it? Or do you analyse the data and see what...

14.2 mmol/l after 2 hours. With regards to others questioning the advice of carbs restriction...I currently live in an unknown, no doctor told me I am diabetic and I do not know what my BG will do after adding more carbs. I basically survive on this diet but am wondering if not taking...

I will supply a short TL;DR here so people don't have to read post history. 2017 December - googled my symptoms, thought it is diabetes and went low carb. 2 weeks later had an OGTT, which shown diabetic levels of sugar. Tested for antibodies for type1, normal hba1c and fasting. Endo said it is...

I just recently started taking it. I will try to get fecal test, followed by other tests.
