after 9 months of low carb, with a recent 3 month HbA1c of 5.4% i had a piece of cake today. It was my coworker's daughter 1 yo birthday and i decided to do an experiment on myself. I had some dates and a slice of cake after getting back home 2 hrs later my bg was 4.4!!!!
None of my coworkers know that i am diabetic, i told them i had a life style change to lose weight and keep it down forever. Not to be rude i ate a piece of cake and some dates like 4 of them. They are not much but i was curious to see how theyll effect me. Suprised to see it was this low!!
By no means will i ever go back to high carb diet but it was encouraging to see these results, SOMETHING ACTUALLY WORKS. I know,i know there are many here who have been successful but its good when happens to you.
But i won't let it fool me into thinking i lost my diabetes. People like Dr Jay Wortman have been on a low diet for 18-19 years with a HbA1c of 5.1, and he is never fooled into thinking he "lost his" diabetes or insulin resistance.
