[QUOTE="Lamont D, post: 1959605, member: 85785"] I am only going on my own experience and a lot of testing and experimentation, I should also explain that my condition has developed my own personal choice of how I deal with blood glucose levels and readings and how it effects my health. It also gives me the information about what certain foods and the hormonal response does to my health and well-being. An optimum number is where your body reacts to what has been derived from the carbs and sugars you allow. Too much over time will increase your glucose levels, having hyperglycaemia is not good over time. Compound this with insulin resistance and the balance of hormones will effect your health. Having Hypoglycaemia will also not be healthy. However, and I have read this much more lately, that having fluctuating blood glucose levels daily, is the worst of all to your general health and to your organs health, the over production of hormones to deal with the food we have, causes obesity and/or ill health in most T2s. I have been in ketosis to control my blood glucose levels, this has worked for me, because my levels remain in or just above normal blood glucose levels, the health improvements have been dramatic and maintained for nearly five years. My health problems and symptoms have abated. Having hyperglycaemia, Hypoglycaemia, hyperinsulinaemia, and the rollercoaster ride of blood glucose levels was literally killing me. Being in ketosis has saved my life and got my health back. There is no magic number, because this is so individual, because you might be able to tolerate more or less carbs than another T2. But if you control your blood glucose levels whilst on a low carb(ish) lifestyle, find your balance of protein, good fats and low carb, this should be sufficient to lower your hba1c levels, and improve your general health. Best wishes [/QUOTE]
