[QUOTE="Guzzler, post: 1593788, member: 408573"] It is very personal, I'm afraid. When I first started I aimed for under 100 carbs per day but as I had already cut out the big nasties we've all learned about, rice, pasta, potatoes and anything made with flour, 100 carbs was a little too easy so I went for under 75 carbs per day. I gradually reduced that to my current 35-45 carbs per day. Sometimes it is 25 or less it just depends on what I want to eat. I have only increased my animal fat a bit because tbh I liked it before dx but I switched from marg back to butter, now fry a lot of things in lard instead of industrial oils and save my olive oil and cold pressed rapeseed oil for dressings. The other thing I am looking into now is my protein level. As you know, too much protein means the liver will turn that excess into glucose so I need to find my personal threshold for that. It is a learning curve specifically because we all have to find our own best levels within LCHF. Take heart, I am only five months from dx and I have learned a lot just by tweaking amounts. You put so much work into ND and I am so sorry that you've hit this hiatus in your efforts to improve your Diabetes. When Dr. Taylor's results come out in December he may reveal more about the transition from the diet to a 'normalised' way of eating. Best wishes. [/QUOTE]
