You can not live your whole life with no carbs! As a few-weeks treatment yes (especially if you are overweight) but low-carb (up 100 but mostly 50/70 carbs per day most of them from fruits and limit bread and pasta) is a different story. you simply can not stop eating fruits. you need them. they are essential and some of them (you pick and choose) have very little carbs or their GL index is LOW so it takes the liver longer to process the carbs. Add some form of exercise to this and you will use them for energy before they do two rounds in the blood without any BG spikes. I am 53. Diagnosed with a horrible A1c of 9.8! (83.5) three years ago during the pandemic. I did Keto and intermittent fasting for few weeks and it helps. I am keeping my T2DM under control with an A1c of 5.6 (37.7) but I will never get rid of my small dose of Metformin. a 500XR is as good as any supplement out there plus it protects your heart and helps with the dawn syndrome. body builders in the US use it for their "cutting" phase.when you get very old (80+) and no form of "no carb - no food" will help you!</p></blockquote><p></p>
