Has anyone done a gallbladder flush? Did you notice any changes in your A1C or morning glucose readings?

Hoping the endo will be able to give me good answers to questions I have. thanks

Looking just at the Type 2/IR. I came across some videos/articles (which I can't seem to find right now) in these video/articles I was sure it was mentioned that that the pancreas can be producing enough insulin but it may be the insulin that is flawed and the target cells are okay in some...

Finally getting to see an endocrinologist to see me in August. I would be interested in you views/opinions with my question below that I'll be asking the endocrinologist The Cpetide test shows you are producing enough insulin. Insulin is given to you and your blood levels go down, would this...

13 years ago and a bit my family Dr. wanted to put me on statins when I was diagnosed with T2/IR. His reasoning was, if I wasn't diabetic my cholesterol would be okay and the statin would help, ( now know how much **** that was). I decided not to take the statin. After a year and a half LCHF...

You may want to listen to this guy on You Tube. He talks about how ACV helped him. AC 1st video AC 2nd video

I found this one works for me. It's a crepe of sort. 2 eggs , 1 TBSP heavy cream, 1 TBSP flour(optional, I find the flour helps the texture), Sweetener of choice(I'll use a couple drops of Stevia or tsp of swerve icing sugar), 1/2 tsp of cinnamon, 1/4 tsp nutmeg, 1/2 tsp baking powder. For the...

You may have to trial & error with your food for both what you like and what works for you. Lots of stuff on You Tube but be careful some posters are just trying for views for money(IMO). Fats for me have been crucial, they help keep the hunger at bay. I feel that if you just stick with...

Using a BG meter, I feel, would really help you here. Although I can't find it right now, there is a You Tube video that provides a study about how people feel they have low BG and so it makes them think they need to eat. The study showed how this wasn't actually the case, it was a pretty high...

To me, the meals you mentioned aren't HFLC. Canned soup, oatmeal, most gravys, and potatoes wouldn't be low carb. The method I use and is working for me, because I like to keep it simple, I eat all meats, and green veggies and use good fats with the veggies. For example I eat breakfast and...

I too have high anxiety and have learned how to manage it. The first thing is to own the situation, confront it, when you do that you'll realize it's not as bad as you first thought. For me, once I owned the fact that I had Type2 and educated myself (lots of research) more about it, the anxiety...

Finally got a C-PEPTIDE test, but I still have questions. After about a 5 hour fast my C-PEPTIDE test results were .76 nmol/L. In discussion with my family Dr. my insulin levels are still good per these test results. What if I had a 12 hour fast instead of the 5 hour fast would the C-Peptide...

When I first started on Metformin 12 years ago I started at 500mg once a day to later taking 1500mg daily. My A1C was only tested once a year to start and for the first few years it fluctuated from the high 6s to low 7s. In the later years (then testing every 3 months) my A1C kept rising...

Yes I get that. I'm curious to know if you've had your pancreas tested(C-Peptide). I feel I'm similar to this and after about a year of asking my doctor for a C=Peptide test with no success. I found another doctor recently and after listening to my story he argued on my behave to the...

Totally agree with your last sentence.

I totally see the use of insulin in this case. Tests have shown your pancreas is no longer making insulin like it used to( aka as LADA) .

In reading the posts on this forum, I see there are some T2s using insulin. I can see using insulin if you are onset T1 but if you are IR T2D would insulin not be a bad thing? Here is my understanding of T2 types: IR Insulin Resistant: Target cells are not accepting the insulin hormone and...

. If you're average BG is 6.2 mmol/l for 3 months then your A1C would be around 5.5% or 35.

The sixes is where I am as well, since going HFLC 11 months ago. Not sure if its because of my age plus the time I've been T2D. been 6.1% with A1C for the last six months, 9 month test to be done soon. Not sure if doing less carbs would help or not. Have you had a C-Peptide test to how the...

Keep working on the good fats. From my research, veggie oils aren't good because they are chemically processed. Good fats like animal fat and fruit oils like olives, avocados, grape seed.
