1st time BS down to 8.5

[Maniss]

Dear All - many thanks for information provided here. I was diagnosed Type 2 last October and had been on several diets to bring my BS down - did loose weight but not the BS. Last Monday I came across this forum and was introduced to LCHF diet. Today, for the 1st time my BS after lunch was remarkably 8.5 Yippeeeeeee!. Thank You.

Well done - keep doing what your doing and I'm sure you'll see an even bigger improvement- you're doing great

I saw my blood glucose drop each week on low carb eating, despite slight increases in carb intake - hopefully it will continue to improve. I do need to avoid high carb foods as that puts back progress quite noticeably.

I remember when I first joined here in august 2016 and anything under 8 was an impossible dream, then I started to see the odd 7 crept in, the 7's became a forest, the odd six appeared and gradually sprouted . Today I'm disappointed when I'm not in the 5's
My numbers have been below 7.8 97% ( non diabetic = 99% of the time) for the last 3 months based on a 24/7 monitor and below 6.7 % 83% of the time. ( non diabetic = 91%).

I've have an average of 32 g carbs per day throughout the time and I can see the difference when I have gone over my average.

I too am generally back in the fives within two hours of eating, the peak figures are usually around 6.8- 7.3 within 45 minutes of food. The transformation is remarkable. If you stick with the low carb, you will probably find the same effect good luck

Great to hear that you can turn things a round
