Message: <blockquote data-quote="Oldvatr" data-source="post: 2626459" data-attributes="member: 196898">We have one of our forum members actually doing a realtime experiment on himself, and he is using a High carb Low Fat vegetarian / vegan diet.  He posts his readings from before and after a meal.  so far his results are at least twice what I am achieving with LCHF.  I do not envy him in his results.Eight years ago  I was maxe'd out with 3 diabetic meds at maximum dose, and my bg; was constantly in the 20's and 30+ range.  None of the meds was working for me and I needed to go onto insulin.I did not and I started low carbing instead.  My HbA1c dropped from106 to 54 and I came off most of my meds in a couple of months.  I have been prediabetic / non diabetic levels since then.I went from 18 stones down to 10 stones in that 2 or 3 months, and I am steady at 10 stone ever since.  My waist shrank from needing 40" waistband to using a 30" waist pair of jeans now.  My belt that I had used for over 10 years needed taking in by couple of inches.I can now eat carbs again, but I have to be careful and still use LCHF principles.  But for me a pecan slice on the odd occasion will hardly cause a blip.  So my insulin resistance is greatly reduced but not necessarily fixed for life.  I consider myself to be in control and I eat a varied and easily prepared diet now.  I do not carb count nor do I calorie count.  I just take care to avoid certain food groups.</blockquote>
