[QUOTE="ianf0ster, post: 2119439, member: 506169"] Hi Mazza, I am having my first post official diagnosis Hba1c blood test next Tuesday,. I was not quite in 'normal BMI' range just 1kg over when diagnosed. I am not on diabetes medication and don't expect to be since according to my meter my BG levels are well controlled on my LCHF lifestyle (I don't call it a diet since there is no calorie restriction). I was surprised how much weight I have been losing, but have lost 21lbs since April 2019 or just over 10% of my maximum weight. I agree Diakat and others that the word [B]'can'[/B] is very important in that headline. We can only control what we can control (or measure). The vast majority of Doctors still think that T2 D is a universally progressive disease, [B]and for them it is - chiefly because of how they treat it! [/B] We are all different and different foods affect is slightly differently, but I can understand your frustration with your Hba1c and your recent high BG meter readings. However stress, infection, lack of sleep and many other things affect BG levels and an Hba1c of 45 is very good indeed considering that the disease is supposedly progressive! Indeed with such a level I am surprised that you are still on Metformin (perhaps you aren't and have just not updated your information). Whether you can tweak your lifestyle to reduce the Hba1c below 40 or not, and whether it is worth it, is a personal choice for you to decide. I have been saying that I am using LCHF with some IF once or twice a week, but apparently Dr Peter Attia (and possibly Dr Jason Fung) appear to call that 16:8 that I do 'Restricted Time Feeding' RTF instead and only something over 24hrs to him qualifies as a 'Fast'.
