I can’t believe it! Today before lunch my BG was 4.9!

Thanks, I didn’t even realize it was an old post! Lol. I’m checking those links now. I find that everyone is so helpful and caring on this site. Thank you so much for directing me to the vegan area and the supplements info. I want to do everything I can to stay healthy and not do any more...

The studies show great promise but, yes, we need to be able to stick to it forever. I think if a person can do LCHF for awhile and when they’ve had enough maybe switch it up and go vegan, or follow the standard diabetic diet. I’m new to all of this and I’m already looking for different ways...

I’m also trying vegan after LCHF, I’m on day 2 only, so I’m not able to lend too much of my experience yet. Excercise really help me, and this morning I had steel cut oatmeal, not the flake oatmeal. I feel ok but haven’t taken my BG reading yet. I fell like I don’t trust eating carbs, lol. But...

Sounds like you might be needing some love, [emoji173]️. The forum is great for venting and for realizing that we’re not alone in whatever we’re dealing with . Diabetes is not an easy thing to cope with. Sometimes it’s hard to find our way. Good luck,

Good for you, what a relief it must have been to see that everything was so good. Keep up the great new habits! I go for my first visit to the diabetic nurse tomorrow. I’m a little nervous but hope I do as well as you.

Thank you very much for your reply and the link about Dawn phenomena, I haven’t been to the diabetes nurse yet, so I’m full of questions. You are so helpful in answering my questions so thoroughly. Really, thank you so much.

I’ve done fasting for just over a year, 16:8. Since being diagnosed 8 weeks ago, my BG goes high if I don’t eat, how do you all do it without your BG shooting up? Are you on Metformin? I just diet controlled, LCHF.

Could your tummy troubles possibly be gluten allergy or intolerance? Having a test meter has helped me get my BG under control in under a week. It’s an absolutely beneficial, and in my opinion, necessary tool.

Thank you so much for clearing this up for me. I thought that the diabetic clinic nurse might put me on meds or insulin if I had higher BG levels on some days. Now I’m understanding that it’s normal for some people. Tonight I’m going to sleep well!

Thank you for the encouragement and the great travel tips. I needed that! Have a good trip home, the snow is melting here in Montreal! I’m sure it’ll be back in no time though, lol. I love being a grama too, my grandchildren are also my heart [emoji173]️.

Thank you for commenting on this, so are you saying that people usually just let their morning value be high, as long as they have the rest of the day under control? Since I’m new at this I don’t know what to do. My mind just keeps racing back to the fact that I’m going to ruin my arteries, my...

Hi Pinkorchid, Yes, my values tend to be higher in the morning before eating, but most times if I eat a snack late at night ( say midnight), then get up at 5:30am, I can catch it before it rises too much. Usually in the 6-7 range. Some mornings though, it’ll go up into the 7.2, to the 7.6...

That’s great, I’m so glad everything went well and it wasn’t too bad or painful. It’s so true that the nerves we get before a procedure are usually the worst part of the treatment. Good going, I’m glad it’s done and you can try to focus on other things now.

Fantastic news, hope it becomes a reality in my lifetime!

Wishing you the best, anyone would be scared to have this done, that’s totally expected. Remember that the medical team does this many times a day, everyday, you’ll be in good hands. Please let us know how it goes. Big hugs, I’ll be thinking of you.

Wow, you’re doing amazing! Five yourself a big pat on the back for these fantastic changes in your life. I was diagnosed just 4 days after you, on the 15th of December. Yup, shell shocked! This place is so helpful, I’m glad I found it. Keep up the good spirits and the good food and excercise...
