C-peptide should always be done as a fasting test because it is trying to measure baseline insulin levels. Those levels change from minute to minute and c-peptide is running a bit behind current levels. Once you throw food in the mix it is hard to say what is going on. I think all you really can...

Got a chuckle out of this. ;)

Cashews are legumes, not nuts, and are higher carb. Walnuts are excellent and should not have much effect at all. I do not know anything about valerian. Welcome to the forum.

I love cashews but here's the thing. They are NOT nuts. Cashews are legumes. If you are going to eat nuts then macadamias as mentioned but also walnuts, hazelnuts, and pecans are good. Nuts are very high calorie as well and well known to stall weight loss or cause weight gain on LCHF.

I also think you need to be tested for type 1. It can happen at any age. Good luck and welcome to the forum.

It is completely possible but we cannot tell you if that is the case with you.

Hello and welcome. It sounds to me like you are going about this exactly right. Knowledge is power and self kindness is indeed very important. I am in Canada and spent many years doing residential care for people of all ages with physical and developmental disabilities. It is a huge job to look...

I have never cared for hot drinks and I do not drink coffee. The colder the better. Interesting.

I saute garlic and ginger in the oil before adding the meat and veggies then add gluten free soy sauce. You can use a pinch of xanthan gum to thicken it a bit.

I do not write down my food but I do record blood sugars and weight. This takes about 20 seconds per day and lets me see that what I am doing is working. I have not only a family but my children and grandchildren living with me. 8 people in an average size house and all the cooking, cleaning and...

Hi. There is a thread on here somewhere called "support thread for those who have trouble losing weight" or something like that. Maybe someone could link that for you. It is early days for you though, give things a chance and remember that not everyone drops weight quickly no matter what the...

I have it both ways lol. Sometimes it doesn't want to stop and others times it doesn't want to bleed. Luck of the draw.

I think the most common symptom that comes before diagnosis is weight gain and finding it almost impossible to lose weight no matter what you do. No one ever seems to make this connection. Diabetics (type 2) are told they got diabetes because they are fat. More and more evidence is piling up to...

Big business does not care about your problems or mine as long as we are giving them our money.

Definitely try fathead pizza, it is excellent, low carb, and extremely filling.

I tried it and it did not seem to do anything other than give a bit of a massage. Can't hurt that's for sure.

I would ask your doctor for a c-peptide and GAD antibody test just to rule out LADA.

Open the pic in paint and there is a button to reduce the file size. Save the reduced file and post it.:D

Same old pile being shoveled using the same shovel. Not only a rant against saturated fat but pushing whole grains. Your results speak for themselves.

4.4 is an excellent reading. Your body is just used to running high. If you quit feeding those numbers your body will get used to normal and you should stop feeling ill at those levels.
