[QUOTE="Ponchu, post: 1959461, member: 496795"] I am re-examining this question. First, a brief explanation. I know what “official” gov’t approved or Pharma financed studies’ numbers are. I trust them to propagate their own needs & promote more prescription drugs; not with my health. I know that some, like Ken Berry say , “ you never want to be above 140...” I know many of us set goals to keep it under a specific number. I know that some of the goal orientated numbers can discourage those who do not ever see said numbers. I don’t want to discourage anyone. I do want to challenge myself for health excellence. I’m open to trying anything for 30 days. With Dr Ken Berry, he gave that number but doesn’t appear to have anything to back it up regarding when damage from high BG levels begin. I like his videos but I’m not convinced that he’s very knowledgeable. He’s persuaded, like many of us, by experience but does he have anything to back this number? (It’s the one I have tried to go by) Questions: Are there numbers that appear to have consensus that are dangerous to any one? What is your goal or ideal numbers? What have you experienced when you’ve maintained them? What have you experienced during times of lapse? Have you ever used BG numbers to guide weight loss? If so, did driving down BG (diet & exercise) produce weight loss? Did failure to maintain said numbers allow for weight to creep back on? Jason Fung has treated lots of highs—dialysis. Orthopedic surgeons have amputated consequences of highs. I’m hoping to learn more thru consensus of opinion. It’s not easy discerning which studies are persuasive, deceptive, ideological (vegan) or interested ($) and which are not. If you’re comfortable sharing, please do. I’m Type 2, yet believe eating like a Type 2 should rather than our standard western diet is best for non diabetics, “pre” diabetics and Type 2 diabetics. I do not understand Type 1. Thanks, everyone. [/QUOTE]
