[QUOTE="catarinagallo, post: 1776969, member: 472400"] My goodness, congratulations Rachox! You’ve been so knowledgeable and inspiring that I thought you must have been here for years! Guru! But in fact your journey sounds almost parallel to mine. I’m seeing the GP next week for an annual checkup after a year in which I’ve tried and roughly managed to do what you have done and reverse my blood glucose values. I hadn’t even been diagnosed as prediabetic. My glucose and cholesterol were ‘slightly up’ and I had about 20 complaints SO as the combo was not good, GP’s answer was to suggest statins! No thankyou very much, no more statins, I’ll do it through nutrition. Oh well if you insist was the reply. I went lowcarb and started monitoring the sugar - and soon saw I wasn’t just slightly high (6.6 fasting) but likely prediabetic! I recall moments like a 16 following a holiday cappuccino & jam croissant.!! An annual fasting value is not enough! Mostly pricking to check, but twice used the Freestyle Libre which I loved. A life saver, but soooo expensive. It was a luxury birthday present for me. But Surely giving risk patients this for two weeks would help prevent diabetes 2 and thus SAVE money for the health system. I ‘only’ lost 13 kg to date (there have been some tough standstill times when exercise was unavoidably lower) but I felt I’d ditched it. I soon realised I was on the right track but that the sugar monster will always be lurking... thank you for sharing! Congratulations and enjoy your trail!
