    Is stopping medication advisable?

    @Bluetit1802 , thanks for the suggestions. I will keep a close watch to see any emerging pattern that contributes to my higher FBS. I haven't tried fasting consciously since I tend to skip meals when I am not hungry. @kokhongw , thanks for sharing!

    Is stopping medication advisable?

    Thanks! @sally and james @Bluetit1802 , I am still seeing higher FBS which really puzzles me to no end. I have been loosing weight, actually a little too much, too fast.

    Hello! It looks like we both got diagnosed at the same time! Mine was also in December 2016. And I am happy with your results. Good job! Since adopting the LCHF lifestyle myself, my results have show great improvements in a matter of 5 months too. Started with a FBS of 12 and H1ac1 of 10.2 to a...

    Hello to all! What a supportive and informative community we have here! :)

    Thank you all for the welcome. @Bluetit1802 : My FBS is normally the highest of the day at an average of 7 or higher at times. It could be the DP and I am still cracking my brain trying to figure it out. PP readings have been hovering around 6 since going strictly LCHF. Aiming to hit the 5s...

    Hello! I am Tealily and have been a lurker since December 2016, when I was first diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes. It has been about 5 months since and I think it's about time I come out from the shadows and formally introduce myself to everyone here. Both my parents are diabetic and we have a...
