    Alternate day fasting

    Fasting might be dangerous with medication. It can make your blood sugar really low and put you in a coma. Please be careful.

    Fruit joke

    An apple a day keeps the doctor away. An orange a day keeps the plumber away. Basically, if you throw fruit at people they go away.

    HBA1C results - confused

    Very sad to hear this. I have only my experience to share though. I was diagnosed in 2021 with T2. The doctor prescribed Metformin. I went into depression and refused to eat for a couple of days. I never took medicine and gave up rice and bread from then on. I changed my diet and life style...

    Type 2 Diabetes reversal

    Kudos to you for keeping it up. How do you measure carbs? I find it very hard to calculate. I never know how much to eat and how often. So, I stick with low carb foods thoughout the day. But it's been working well so far.

    Glucose measuring watch

    I was considering of getting one a couple of years ago, but upon research I found out that it doesn't work. Not only would it be a waste of money, but also inaccurate reading be dangerous.

    Type 2 Diabetes reversal

    Type 2 Diabetes reversal

    Thank you. I don't eat meat, so it becomes really difficult to find things to eat. Vegetables, cheese, yogurt and unsweetened peanut butter is helping me to keep at it.

    T2: Does anyone have experience of leg pain/tingling

    I have been researching. I don't know. We all got Covid and were in isolation. I'm not overweight and walked 10000 steps every day. It could be the tension that might have spiked our blood sugar. None of us had any history of raised blood sugar. There have been credible reports of the virus...
