[QUOTE="jjraak, post: 2116053, member: 493719"] Hi [USER=512696]@SarahEN[/USER] not sure how long you've trying lchf, i guess not long. ? [USER=480869]@HSSS[/USER] makes great sense with the food choices. and i can see your well into that game plan..good on you. For me the morning FBG took ages to drop. Everyone says its the last number to fall. and in my own experience i have to agree. I know it's the BANG of glucose to get us up and started for the day, but i wonder if the idea that Glucose is leaking out of the liver and into us overnight, makes that Rise in the early days a little more understandable. i tried to get a grip on the numbers early on, but i'll admit i struggled. i needed something to SEE or UNDERSTAND for me to 'get' what was happening. i now see us as full of sugar, ...and the high FBG numbers can worry people From what i have read, i now see those early morning FBG being higher as a good thing. it indicates to me, that while WE are putting LESS carbs into our body to be spread about as Glucose Our body is slowly using up and leaking out some of that stored previously so our Glucose Tank, for want of a better word, slowly drops over time which IS the goal, to balance our intake, with our needs, AND reactions to the foods that we take in.. and how else do we unload the stored glucose, that has stuffed into every orifice in our bodies, over many years, BEFORE we got diagnosed as Type 2..( fat or Thin T2's) ? It doesn't happen overnight, but over time, Many have seen those FBG's drop, their HBA1c settle at lower levels, but i think more importantly are now better aware of what foods are best for them, so in the majority of cases, keep a much more settled BG level through out each week/ month. Mine dropped from the 9's..then plataue'd then dropped from the 8's then plataue'd...etc not sure if that experience is typical, but it's got me, one year later to the point where my FBG is back among the 5's..(life will elevate that, holidays were i relaxed my diet, pushed that back up to low 6's so had to get back to my new normal regime, and wait a while before that stabilised for me again.) It took me time to Understand what was happening and how to treat THIS T2, the best way for ME and to get more comfortable with what was 'UUGGHH :***: ' at the lack of food choices (i thought ) vailable to me. The Forum was ESSENTIAL to that journey, and all it's wonderful contributors. Now i find foods to eat very easy, practical and enjoyable. with the added bonus i KNOW they are doing me good Long answer, just wanted to share that the journey does have a happy ending and not all the numbers are as scary as they look at first. best wishes. (top tip. Less snakes, More steaks ;)}.. [/QUOTE]
