Message: <blockquote data-quote="lorib64" data-source="post: 2484661" data-attributes="member: 423264">I started a keto diet a year ago. I was able to get off Januvia and My A1C went from 5.3% (5.7 mmol/L) to 4.8% (5.1 mol/L)In December I went off keto around the holidays.  I found i missed fruits and some of the starchier veggies and legumes. I even had some sweets but not like in the past.  I recently had blood work fasting glucose 103 mg/dl (6.0 mmol/L) A1C 5.0% (5.4 mmol/L)I am planning to eat low carb, but not keto. I have got out of the habit of logging food and counting carbs,  My husband eats non starchy veggies and very little fruit, no grains. He has type 2 diabetes and is in remission.  He never counted carbs.I found I am lactose intolerant and the combination of avoiding dairy (lactose) and carbs was restrictive for me.  I want to be able to have some freedom with food choices without diabetes progressing.Do I need to log food and keep track of carbs and glucose levels daily? I have trouble sticking to eating meals and when I snack it is hard to keep track of what I ate.  I can work on that.</blockquote>
