    I'm lost and confused

    Helen, What others said is spot on. See if you can get a copy of this book and go through it https://www.amazon.com/Dr-Bernsteins-Diabetes-Solution-Achieving/dp/0316182699 It is one of the best resources out there for Diabetes education. Essentially, since you are still in pre-diabetes stage, by...

    New to Type 2 Diabetes

    It does take time for the body to get used to the new diet and come to a stable behavior. As you are changing your diet and eating habits, things will fluctuate and eventually you will get to a normal. That being said, I agree with MrsA2 above, I have to go to Toilet more frequently and with a...

    lchf diet and exercise is helping (A1C = 5.7)

    It has been a year since I was diagnosed and it has been slow but steady progress ever since I found Dr. Bernstien's Diabetes Solution book. It is really hard being on LCHF since I am a vegetarian (no meat or eggs but dairy is OK). People keep asking about the high fat and cholesterol...

    Why my glucose meter readings and 3 month HbA1C don't correlate?

    Thanks Kevin, this is helpful. So, it is possible to drop the A1C within a cycle. I guess I will keep at it :) I do have two meters and I have tested, sometimes they are a bit off, but not 20 points off from each other, usually, they are within 10 points of each other unless I made a mistake...

    Metformin Dosage and ER vs non ER

    Thanks for letting me know of your personal experience. The doctor did mention that the Extended Release version is slightly more expensive and you need a reason so he could prescribe it and the Dawn effect did give him the reason. Glad to be on the ER version. I will bump the version from 500...

    Metformin Dosage and ER vs non ER

    Hey Folks, So, I was diagnosed last November with a A1C of 8.3. I am 5'6" and at that time, I was 186lbs. I immediately went on the defensive and went on the low carb high fat (lchf) diet after reading Dr. Bernstien's Diabetese solution book. Completely gave up on all grains except...

    Soooooo confused now..

    I was diagnosed in November 2015 and had the same scary journey as you. I got the same talk with the doctor.. eat a little bit of beans, some bread, not too much etc.. but I read Dr. Bernstien's book and that gave me hope. I am a vegetarian (no meat, no eggs), so it was doubly hard for me...
