..as I got hooked on another forum to be honest. I've been on Keto for 2 years and 6 months, ever since diagnosed with T2 Diabetes on Jan. 20, 2021. I have never looked back, and follow the low-carb nutrition/keto, and actually lean toward Carnivore. I don't know if I will go that far, but...

I am thinking of try Metformin because I want to see if it's easier than controlling my diet with and iron fist:banghead: I understand a lot of people would just say why fix it if it isn't broken. I've done amazingly well according to all I've shared my story with, especially my doctor, but I...

..of course without getting higher Blood Glucose. I looked at a sort of "pyramid" for diabetics, but some of the foods on it are scarey for me. It also told the amounts you should eat, way less than a person that doesn't have diabetes. I've spent a lot of time on a Keto forum but I feel I...

Thanks to some people on this forum that mentioned Dr. Jason Fung, I now have a much, better handle on Fasting/Intermittent Fasting which I've also heard about during my journey on Keto. I really thought Fasting overnight was enough (usually 16 hours) including no snacking (healthy diabetic...

..and hoping to find something other than Stevia since lately I'm really finding it to have an after-taste I don't like at all. Funny how I've used it for years, so wondering if my taste-buds are better since I've been doing Keto since Feb. 2021. I keep reading articles that say Erythitol and...

I was diagnose with Type 2 Jan. 20th, of this year. So since February, when I got serious about my choice to do Keto, I have followed that diet strictly. My HbA1C tests have come down, as well as my daily tests, but I still have what I think are diabetic issues like numbness, tingling, and...

very diligent, don't cheat but one time at a potluck, and didn't do that again. Going for A1C again soon and Lipid profile. Thing is, drink plenty of water, right percentages of Proteins, Fats and carb (vegies only) except a once-in-awhile loaf of Almond Flour bread, with cinnamon and stevia...

and ready to look at some options. I've read broccoli is low in oxalates, so I think that is good if it's true. I love my broccoli. I'd really like to hear from some of you on foods you are good with though, rather than the videos I was watching. Even if they are carnivore, ok with me. I am...

..and it is so hard to trust the "new info" from Doctors that say not to worry about high, total Cholesterol numbers. I'll show you the snips I have of my results but the one thing that is saving me from truly freaking out is the Triglycerides/HDL which is 1.4. That 1.4 seems to be...

since 5:30 a.m. this morning. It is now 5;35 my time. Ambulance came and got me, had 2 cat-scan and 1 xray,mri sceduled this week can't type or think good. no cause found so far. maybe's are t2 anxiety/stress my thought, maderna vaccine. last shot june 2nd i'm scared, denise been on my...

..my blood glucose numbers rise a bit, just more into the pre-diabetic area, I get the shakes, feel hungry before I should, and start sweating off and on. I've looked around the web for reasons why and the one that hit the closest to how I feel is a Dairy intolerance. I read this just before I...

..on last labs. Now I'm scared all over again. I got my numbers down, went through withdrawals from sugar and feel like I really beat it, but I'm so afraid about the cholesterol, mostly I think because my doctor is. But I also noticed my triglycerides are way down where they should be which...

I had my doctor appointment yesterday, and again my doctor (MD) encouraged me to take statins. My cholesterol total (hdl and ldl) was 294. The ratio was 3.7 which here in US the good ratio is 0.0 - 3.2 ratio. I have read quite a bit on cholesterol and lowering the ldl which is called "bad...

I eat vegies every day, but I am still having hunger feelings, even ravenous, between meals last few days. I'm reading/hearing that more water and fiber with meals helps with hunger between meals. I'm never hungry like this after dinner in the evening but that's when I have the best balanced...

I've been following a low carb diet since basically Jan. 20, 2021, but really got with it, after another lab that showed an even higher HbA1C number between than and today. My first showed a 7.0 when I was told that put me right into Type 2, and the second HbA1C was at 7.4. I took meds for a...

..with Keto lifestyle changes. My Type 2 numbers are all within better even excellent ranges, and so many other health issues are improving, some even gone. I am having a bit of an issue getting in enough water. I read both "opinions" on how much water, and what is as good as water for...

..make us fat, but it's the sugar/carbs that make us fat"? Also, I just heard a video that said ALL foods turn to sugar, and wondered if what he was meaning was that ALL foods turn into energy?

I have a 98 mg/dl this a.m. and I am just in shock! First time under 100 in seems like ages but something is working, no meds. I mean I know it will fluctuate but I also see my total calories a day are much lower then they should be. I don't feel starved though that's kinda weird, for me...

Note: Forgot an important part, I am baking for one, but have a freezer as well, so don't want to make huge portions as for a family ;) I would love to have some recommends, mainly because I went out before my diagnosis and bought a hand-mixer that I really liked, but rarely used. Now I am...

..that had only 27 carbs?? I saw a dietician just to see what they would tell me about eating as I was getting super lethargic. I haven't been on Metformin (only for first 2 weeks). She said with the number I was logging in my diary, I should shoot for 30g per meal so I did, didn't go over so...
