[QUOTE="Debandez, post: 2415977, member: 460354"] Hi [USER=539572]@Rach612[/USER] You are very kind. I just do what I do trying to make some ripples at least. We are up against Goliath! I am NOW a slim t2d. Thin some would say. I lost over 50lbs in 7 months and have maintained since. It will be 3 years next month. Still have to pinch myself. I find weighing myself every day works for me. Not for everyone though. I keep to a certain weight by doing this. I don't lose or gain. Varies a couple of lbs either way. How have I maintained weight and kept my blood sugars in range, just keeping as low carb as I can but eating to my scales. If I dip I eat a little more if I gain I have a light day. 3 years in I'm a dab hand at it. It sounds hard work but it's second nature now. I have had the advantage of using a CGM for the last 18 months which to me is a game changer blood sugar control wise (Soooo expensive though but I live in hope the cost comes down soon) I've done lots of experimenting and shared results so others can hopefully benefit, although we are all different there are certain trends for t2d so I feel these results will definitely help others, hence this video. CGMs allow you to see exactly what you should avoid (food/drink/emotions/illness/medication can spike you). Finger pricking doesn't always reveal the full story, that said it gives a very good indication. I've sometimes thought I got away with things only to find it's come back to bite me during the night/the morning after. That said, if blood glucose monitoring isn't for you for whatever reason just keep your eye on carb intake. Carbs turn to sugar. the less starchy carbs the better. Keep stress levels as low as possible (stress puts my bs up, if I do a talk I go way up high for example and no food involved!). Illness put my bs up too. When I had covid my bs were sky high and I had lost my appetite for about a week. A good night's sleep certainly helps. How are you doing with your blood sugar levels? Are you struggling? [/QUOTE]
