[QUOTE="jenbokay256, post: 1571767, member: 197741"] Hi Snichy.... on a low carb diet, it will take some time to see your blood sugar going down and an improvement in insulin sensitivity - I have never taken medication which I don't believe in. I have successfully lowered my bloods down to between 4.7 and 5.2 (fasting) but I keep a food diary, counting carbs. I try to keep my carbs under 30g per day and it's very easy to experience "carb creep" - those hidden carbs that you haven't counted. May I suggest that you look at work by Prof Sarah Hallberg and associated with her research on reversing T2 with a ketogenic diet, there is an amazing site called Diet Doctor where you can get a really good idea of nett carb numbers (excluding dietary fibres). Dr Jason Fung has written a great book called "Obesity Code" - it's really worth reading. There is also Dr David Perlmutter, Dr David Ludwig, Dr Mark Hyman who are all opinion leaders in this research. A lot of the work is related to brain function - dementia is now called T3 diabetes because the brain becomes "insulin resistant" as well.
