[QUOTE="Estragon, post: 2311971, member: 514877"] Stunning statement - Well said. Indeed. I read your Post and thought what was it that was awful about for a Low-Carb diet? OK, for me it’s been Bread, Cornflakes, Porridge, the MIGHTY PASTA!, Potatoes and Rice. How on Earth can I cope with NO Spaghetti Bolognese? No Roast potatoes? No Lamb Biryanis? No Porridge in the morning? And instead I’m to up my Cheese, Eggs, Bacon etc? How?? Well guess what? I had an HBA1C of 89 and a 18.0 back in Sept’19 and I’m now HBA1C 52 and this morning I woke up with a 5.5. How? How have I done this? I came to this Forum, read loads of recipes and believed that if others can do it then maybe I could get an edge on this disease. I need to and have to. I’ve just turned 69 and thought a year ago I was a lost cause - not so. I’m on METFORMIN but no Insulin. I’ve had COVID19 and recovered. And I have to say that most probably my recovery has been down to having reduced my Diabetes status to a controlled base line. I’ve done this by expelling Carbs for the first 9 months to almost none on a daily basis and now have proved I can eat a small amount of Carbs knowing that possibly in the morning my overnight fasting will edge upwards, and it has, and know that I can wrangle it back in by the next day. This is not a Sprint, it’s a Marathon to be take at your speed. Slow and steady is my motto. My name is Estragon, and I’m a Diabetic. [/QUOTE]
