[QUOTE="JenniferG, post: 1215373, member: 306119"] Just curious, why isn't dairy your friend anymore? I wonder if this would happen to me? Loved dairy all my life and still eat a lotta cheese. I love mayonaise as well, but the tasty kind I've been getting is made with soybean oil which is both refined and omega 6 rich. I need to find a different mayonaise from a healthier store. I want one made with pure olive oil if I can. Regarding insulin: I am 27 stone (379 lb) and supposed to be eating a 2400 calorie diet to lose 2 pounds per week. If I eat 2400 calories, 50g a day in carbs and about 120g a day in protein, I have to inject about 45 units a day of insulin to keep my sugars around 5.2 to 6.4 mmol/L (95 to 115 mg/dL) all day. However, if I eat only 1600 calories a day in a 6 hour window (intermittent fasting), and about 30g net carbs 100g protein, I don't need to inject any insulin to maintain 6.1 to 7.5 mmol/L (109 to 135 mg/dL) all day. I've just started 23:1 intermittent fasting at 800 to 1000 calories a day, with about 20-25 net grams of carbs and 70g of protein. I plan on doing this for a couple weeks or so. I am hoping I'll achieve 4.7 to 5.9 mmol/L (85 to 105 mg/dL) all day with this few calories, carbs & protein--along with no insulin injections. I'll keep you posted. I used to take Metformin as my only diabetes medication -- I've been off of that for 1 1/2 weeks. No more chronic diarrhea. No more diarrhea at all rather. A bit of constipation now... working on consuming more salt, water & veggies. EDIT: darn I realize I am in the 1.5/LADA sub-forum.. my apologies! I'm type 2. [/QUOTE]
