This seems to be working. Last couple of months have seen a dawn phenomenon of around 10. Been doing lchf properly for just one week and the results are 9,8,6,9(ice cream) 5,5. Stable all day approx 5-7. Also reduced meds! Will this continue?

Thanks for the replies.I was looking at keeping some dairy (butter, cheese and cream) to keep up the hf so as you say more lchf than paleo. I will keep you posted on my progress

7.3 this morning, lowest for a few months. Started Januvia yesterday so it is working!

Yes Unbeliever. Ridiculous highs after breakfast then getting lower thru the day.

Dr has put me on Januvia today to try for 8 weeks. Hba1c is 7.6 down from 7.9 but still not as good as before. If it does not come down much more or I dont feel better it will then be time for insulin at last. Friar tuck
