[QUOTE="JoKalsbeek, post: 2054100, member: 401801"] Uhm, Doug... I barely dare say it, but ah... Once you achieve remission, which can take a rather long time, depending on whose criteria you go with, you have to stick with the low carb thing... I didn't call it remission until I had non-diabetic bloodsugars and was medication and complication free for two years. Because of how I eat, not because my body suddenly decided it could handle carbs after all, because hey, I'm a diabetic for life. Just give me some cake and see my numbers fly, even if I've been a good keto-girl for quite a while now. The moment you go back to the old way of eating, you'll be back where you started. You're still insulin-resistant, that doesn't go away in a couple of months, though it can improve. You're prone to high bloodsugars, that isn't going to change. The only thing that can change, is your diet (Or meds, granted). T2 can be controlled, not, technically, cured. ...You keep mentioning Boost. I take it that's a meal replacement? I also take it that would get boring as ****? Maybe time to check what foods do agree with you and you could eat long-term without it getting old. Dietdoctor.com would help. As for pizza, try making your own: Fathead pizza is more work than just using a few eggs with italian herbs as a base rather than dough. (I'm no kitchen princess, so that's what I do). "Real food" is more enjoyable and healthier, in the long run... And something that's easier to keep up. I know it's not what you want to hear, and I'm sorry to be the barer of bad news. But i'd hate to see your hard work go up in smoke 3 weeks from now. [/QUOTE]
