I was diagnosed with T2D January 2019. I guess I have been diabetic for no less than a decade, not diagnosed. I refused to take medication and went low carb. In fact, I reduced carbs to a minimum and tried to maximize fat intake. I avoided any human-tampered fats and restricted my ingestion to...

Mine is not expert opinion, but I am drawing from my personal experience and thousands of googling and YouTubing. All I can say is that as long as you are eating healthy food and in the right amounts, there is no need to worry. However, regular tests could provide valuable feedback on your...

You are so lucky to have taken such a health-wise decision. Yet, I think you need to proceed gradually to allow your body time to re-adapt to the diet change. Depending on your diet (carnivore, vegetarian, Keto or LCHF) you need to be alert on your electrolyte balance, sufficient amount of...

More details are needed: is it a fasting blood glucose test? What is your hba1c? Once these are clear members will give lots of tips. Anyway, there is no need to worry, most of us here have been there once. As a start, you need to cut down on ingestion of sugars (white, brown, refined, etc) and...

A handful of nuts is good enough, it stops hunger. Yet, you need to limit the quantity of peanuts as they are high in Omega-6s, pro-inflammatory fats. The best thing to have as a snack is a handful of mixed nuts: peanuts, almonds, cashew nuts, etc. Moderation is the keyword.

If I were you, I wouldn't worry to much about stalled weight loss. I would keep a wary eye on my numbers (BG, hba1c, TG, etc).

Since I am not a GP, I wouldn't use terms like "must". Yet, all I can offer as a layman is: reduce dietary glucose as much as possible. All you need to know is that carbs (glucose) are everywhere except in meat, fish, chicken, eggs and water. These contain zero sugar. Everything else has a...

When When it comes to what you have on your plate 5 food items are sugar free: meat, chicken, fish, eggs and water. Anything else is somewhere between low carb and high carb. Once you have your diabetes type decided, you'll need to experiment (with some trial and error) as to what foods spike...

My comments about carbs ingestion were not meant to refer to intolerance, but to their deleterious effect on the GI and the consequent auto-immune disease. Auto-immune disease can account for a good number of T 1.5 patients because the pancreas has got under attack from the body's immune...

Whether you are diagnosed with T1, T2 or T1.5, you will need to cut down on carbs. Unless you manage to get your diabetes into reversal you won't get back to those old carb days. That diet got you, and the rest of us, into diabetes. First thing, you need to sort out micro-nutrients, which ones...

Being in remission shouldn't be an excuse to resume a diet that brought me to T2D. Even if I reversed it, I wouldn't. I really love my new lifestyle (diet exercise, everything)

Going to bed with little or no food is matter of personal choice. Our bodies behave and react differently. You only need to do what does your body good.

Just one question: have you ever experienced any hypos? If the answer is"no", then you can safely go to bed without a single bite. You've done a great job: managing your BG just with diet. Other people are struggling with tons of pills and injections to get as close to your numbers as possible...

Some experts talk about reversal and remission. Well my T2D is in remission because my hba1c is below 6.2 % (44 mmol/mol), my only form of medication is diet and regular exercise. My last reading (Jan. 27) was 5.8 % (40 mmol/mol). You can have a look at my numbers in my profile.

If you're not T1D and you are not taking any related medication, you can even go to bed on an empty stomach. That helps in having low morning BG as well as your hba1c readings. If you are using a CGM, you can give it a try.This is not an expert opinion, it's just a suggestion from an individual...
