Brilliant - thank you so much @Bluetit1802 !
Well done! That is some achievement!
If you have a read of some of the 800 cal/ND threads (which you may have done already) you will find quite a few people are doing exactly that - kicking off weight loss and reversal with the ND type diet, then moving to LCHF for further loss or maintenance.![]()
What kind of fruit have you been eating?..that can cause spikes for a lot of us.Hello,
I am a new member and have diabetes for several years which i have been managing with tablets Gemer 1 mg and Insulin. I also could not eat any carbohydrate (wheat, oats, corn) as it resulted in high blood sugar. However, I was able to bring my sugar level under control using a low carb diet of protein, vegetables and fruit. Over the last few months this diet has failed and I have started taking a probiotic nutrolin B plus once a day. The probiotic seems to have helped bring my sugar levels down and i would like to know if any others have faced the same problem.
Fruit I eat are apples and Guavas (sometimes oranges and mangoes mixed in a fruit salad) and could maintain a good HBA1C of around 5 -6 until last year. I also eat a lot of peanuts.Usually diabetics in India are recommended a diet with whole wheat, oats, low glycemic index vegetables and my mother who is a diabetic for over 25 years has been following this diet. However, I cannot eat any kind of bread, rice etc and it was the reason why I started the low carb diet several years ago.What kind of fruit have you been eating?..that can cause spikes for a lot of us.
Thanks for replying to my question, if you do know anyone who has used probiotics as part of their prescribed medication or diet please let me know.What kind of fruit have you been eating?..that can cause spikes for a lot of us.
I'm afraid I have never used probiotics but do follow an ultra low carb diet with very little fruit (just a few raspberries sometimes). No meds, but I am a fairly heavy meat eater which makes it much easier for me to follow this way of eating although there are a number of vegetarian low carbers on the forum.Fruit I eat are apples and Guavas (sometimes oranges and mangoes mixed in a fruit salad) and could maintain a good HBA1C of around 5 -6 until last year.

The only spikes I noticed till last year was with any type of rice, wheat (whole wheat, mixed grains and low glycemic index) also oats, corn, cornflakes etc. After the low carb diet failing, I am now noticing an improvement after taking Nutrolin B Plus everyday and eating more vegetables. The doctors in India have never prescribed any probiotic supplements to me and I was wondering if anyone had more experience with probiotics and its connection to a low carb diet. I read that high protein intake can alter the intestinal flora and cause high blood sugar (mostly in pre-diabetics).
Those are some sugary fruits and as we know diabetes is always changing. Maybe you're not as low carb as you think you are? Are you counting them? Many of us have to continue to reduce them as the years go by.Fruit I eat are apples and Guavas (sometimes oranges and mangoes mixed in a fruit salad) and could maintain a good HBA1C of around 5 -6 until last year.

It might be the peanuts - I found that, as they are actually legumes, that they are not something I can eat even a small amount of, as they seem to pack more of a punch than would be thought from the carb count.Fruit I eat are apples and Guavas (sometimes oranges and mangoes mixed in a fruit salad) and could maintain a good HBA1C of around 5 -6 until last year.

Ooohhhhh. I'm excited. I learned so much from him too. He was a key to getting better control. Still is. When I veere or sway and come back to homeostasis I realize I've veered and swayed from him.I do too Kristin. I don't know how I stumbled upon his book a few years ago, but I learned so much from him, and am delighted that he has a new book coming out, though we don't know the title or publication date yet.![]()
I sure will!! My error. I thought it was pbx. I started R ALA from Swanson Vitamins May first and OMG what a difference. I just take insulin of course, D3 and R ALA. Doing great. Or as great can be hahaIt was the digestive enzymes combined with alpha lipoic acid that helped the most. Happily, my IBD remains in remission, and my gut seems happy these days so no need for probiotics. I'm still taking most of my other vitamins though... a multi*, B5, C*, D3*, K2, selenium, zinc, magnesium citrate, fish oil, and cod liver oil. I want to restart the CoQ10 but I keep forgetting to buy it.
*vitamins made from whole foods.
Kristen, let me know if you find anything out about the new book.
