As you can see from my signature I have been at this for a long time but I feel now I might be getting to the end of the road re no meds. Please note my Type 2 is inherited not weight related. I do strict low carbs and quite frankly I reckon my only significant carbs these days is a bit of fruit which to me is a treat and only eaten at the end of a meal. I am back at the gym and do a high impact class or spin every day bar my 1 day off. During heavy lockdown I did a 30 mins online class a day until back at the gym
My fasting BS is now stuck at about 7.2 - every new fad I try works for a bit and then stops the latest being chewing nigella sativa seeds morning and night after reading a research article. I also do cinnamon at every meal (mixed with a little yoghurt to make it palatable. Since it is sea buckthorn season I am foraging these and freezing them whole and as the juice.(meant to help Type 2)
Should I be on meds when after 5-6 hours after a meal my BS is in the 5's? I won't allow myself to eat lunch until it makes the 5's even if my stomach is rumbling. Yesterday after a big salad with smoked salmon wrapped round full fat cream cheese at lunch after 6 hours I was getting hungry and my BS was 5.3. So does this mean I am OK as my pancreas is still working? My last HbA1C in April was 48 (6.5) i.e. on the border but the Doctor didn't even comment.
Thoughts please? I trust you lot better than any doctor who IMO doesn't know as much. Thanks for reading.
