So....3.5 months in and I've lost just over 3 stone. And my HBA1C was 6.8 in Feb and is now 5.9. so I'm happy.
But, as I'd cut out carbs completely, I was hoping my ketones would be higher. The best I've had is 0.6, but latest was 0.2. literally, the only carbs would be those in broccoli, spinach etc. Else my diet has been chicken, spinach, feta, eggs, avacado etc.
Clearly, something is not working, so some pointers would be helpful. My only observations would be:
1. Milk in my tea/coffee. Nothing extravagant, just the regular splash.
2. I'm not able to do any excercise due to my gout attacks.
Any suggestions?
(Ps, on a cruise today. Any suggestions for drinks would be welcome. Gin and slimline tonic is ok, but a bit more variety please. )
