[QUOTE="brassyblonde900, post: 1983588, member: 445897"] Hugs. When I was first diagnosed I quickly found out that what works for others does not work for me. Because of my [I][B]scaredy-cat[/B][/I] liver, any type of stress had me gushing glucose like a Tate and Lyle factory. Be it fasting, HIIT, Brisk walking etc all drove my BG into the stratosphere...My body reacted to those things as stress, and thanks to Catecholamines (a cohort of stress hormones) my liver thought I was about to be devoured by a hungry lion and it then helpfully releases glycogen (Gluconeogenesis) to help me deal with what it assumed was imminent danger luckily I then sussed out that I may be [B]different,[/B] and I accepted that I had to explore safe options, with a view to solving the problem. Obviously for you, medication is only making your (IR) diabetes progressive. Have you explored other options like fasting, keeping your total carb intake in a day to 20g a day or less. Even if it means going low enough with carb eating as to be in the Carnivore WOE territory (Just add only seasoning like a bit herbs to season the meat) Those were instrumental in sorting out my IR. Now I can do up to 20g a day of carbs with no issues - I have no desire to go any higher since I am quite happy with my food choices and its working wonders for my T2DM control. Now I can fast, I did after Xmas, I did not manage to avoid[B] a few[/B] (euphemism for loads in BrassyB speak)of the baked fare (I limited my fast to 36hrs though, no need tempting my liver to remember its old ways) I was back to my pre Xmas readings within days I also do IF, since I cant stand food before lunch time. I find that those protocols have greatly enhanced my Insulin sensitivity. [B][I][U]Please not that because you are on Insulin, you have to follow any type of fasting or Very Low carb WOE under the supervision of your HC team.[/U][/I][/B] [/QUOTE]
