[QUOTE="EmDellit, post: 2440327, member: 548655"] Hello all, I was diagnosed with T2D 6 months ago aged 40 (A1C 7.3). I've managed to reverse it (woohoo!) but am stress about my new results: Month 1-3: 800 cal a day, keto (10% vege based carbs), intermittent fasting. I lost 15kg. 2.3 stone. Result: reversal to 5.3 A1C Month 4-6: maintenance calories, keto/low carb, a lighter IF. I've lost 1-2 kg Result: a shock increase to 5.6 A1C I'm gutted by the result, and scared that this means I need to eat extreme keto for the rest of my life to keep my A1C low which is possible, but difficult. Has anyone else experienced this? Any real-world advice would be appreciated, as the research seems very light. My doctor says that I can eat what I want as long as I keep the kilos off and shouldn't be worried about the result as long as it stays below 7. [/QUOTE]
