Insulin also triggers the release of leptin, if I remember correctly. It goes hand in hand with satiety. Hence, why carbs are satiating. I won't lie, some days I miss my days of 50% carbs, but crashes and bs are better keeping them lower! Last night was hard. It was my brothers b-day, and my...

I am still fighting! I am feeling better, for now as you say. I may have to drop to the 20-25% range over time. For now, I am letting my body adjust. I just recently went through a 2 year starvation mode. Keto might be an option one day, but for now, I am just happy to feel better. Good to see...

As the dietitian I am working with told me, "dietary guidelines vary person to person and most of what is out there is pseudoscience. All people are different." I mean how many dietitians actually tell you to eat more fat and less carbs! Lol

I am on day 3 of a lower carb diet. Not as low carb as some, about 30% with fiber being 50grams a day, and am feeling much better. I hope it continues. Almost anything is better than ridin what i have lovingly started calling the norepinephrine pony and the insulin swing Broncos! I know how you...

The dreaded Yank here! Just letting y'all know I have moved up my trip to December to UK! I am staying 2 weeks DEc 11-27th. I will be in London for 5 days, and after that, I have no plans. Always open for the "natives" to give me some ideas! LOL

Hey y'all, Just giving you fine U.K. folks ample warning. This YANK is planning a trip to the U.K. in April of next year! SO HAVE A SAFE HIDING PLACE! LOL

I always dream of my dead father. I can smell him frying hand made French fries. (I guess my bs is low when I get that craving) when I try to go to him, it feels like I can't move. I weigh 1000kg. I fight and fight, but just can't get to him. I wake up in a panic and still smell the cooking oil...

I actually went to see my endo today. She told me if my bs does not drop under 50mg d/l-2.7 mol, I am not hypo. So when my bs goes from being 100 to 61 in 2 sets of slight exercise, or from 106 to 65 1 hour after eating a high protein, moderate carb breakfast, that is not really hypoglycemic...

Yes. I went fairly low carb during weight loss. I am just seeing real world people doing something. Not some subsidized study.

That's where most of my fats come from anyways. Olive oil, walnut, almond. High monounsaturated, and poly unsaturated. Lean. Chicken and turkey, almond butter. Natural peanut butter. I actually have up most carbs for over a year and a half during weight loss. Problem is I ate too much pro, and...

I Am thinking about traveling again. I will have to keep that in mind. I don't drink much, but if the entertainment is lively, and the ladies friendly, I am up for anything. I have traveled Europe as well. Nice to see the different cultures, though I believe that they are getting watered down...

I have read that a high fat diet can cause insulin insensitivity. I have also read that low carb high fat improves sensitivity. Do you think the Adkins diet had anything with you developing your dm?

Trust me, I didn't vote for either goof ball. Lol I voted for Gary Johnson. A little crazy himself, but better than the other two. Before the britex , I was considering moving to Britain. I have visited before, I really liked it there. Only time I had any trouble was in London. My brother and I...

That is crazy! That is exactly how I feel when I crash! I feel numb all over. Pulse speeds up, then goes low. I get glittery, anxious, can't think, mind dog from heck!

Hey everyone! Your pain in the backside Yank here. I posted in the past that I do believe I have reactive hypo. Blood sugars tank during workouts and will watch my bs slowly drop into the 60/70 mg/dl range several hours after I eat. I am considering going KETO or VLC. I am just wondering, who...

73mg/dl or 4.05/mol this morning. Starting to eat less carbs and the ones I do eat are full of fiber! raised fat and increased protein!

I have a small portable natural gas smoker. I usually smoke over apple or cherry. Oak or Hickory can overpower the fish. I usually use a light lemon brushing, and finish with stone ground mustard and fresh dill! I often let hit cool in the icebox overnight, and eat it cold.

I actually make my own smoked salmon 3 times a week! I do get my omega 3's! lol I also eat eggs and some butter. I just try and limit them.

wow! I do crave sugary things Lamont! I just have not been eating them! So I guess the only good news from this is, I am probably not a diabetic. As far a portion control, I have been weighing and measuring for the last year or so. So, that is not a problem. I have also stopped taking the Alpha...
