Hi @andre53 are you Injecting insulin? Are you inj less when losing small? It may help. Obviously small decreases in par with good bgs. Good bgs is where you get a slot to reduce your insulin. If not Injecting exercise burns off insulin resistance but not as much as less calories.
You're doing brilliantly. Slow and steady always wins the long race.
Yes. It's all learning curves. I use to hv great help from metformin but it's of very little use to me lately. It really plays havoc with my severe IBS. Humf. I hv to rethink too. Constantly but not too quickly or I miss something useful.Hi ickihun, thank you for your words and tips!
Insulin was de-prescribed after good advances fasting blood glucose, HbA1c, and fasting insulin. I do a (very) low carb diet but with a lot of cheating episodes. At least one / weeek.
But something very curious happend.
I needed to do a travel vacation with my family and I was very scared about to fit in the airplane seat, to fit in the airplane belt seat, to keep acceptable blood pressure numbers, as well as good blood sugar numbers (both fast and post-prandial).
To avoid any bad surprises, I behaved like a monk during all the trip, with one meal a day (or two), strict ketogenic, no alcohol. And, after a week I produced these interesting results, as well as good blood pressure numbers, and could fit inside the airplane seat (and the belt).
But...
Returning home, new year celebrations, my aniversary at jan 7, etc, I did return to the old 'chetogenic' lifestyle. And, obviously, lost all the progress.
These two scenarios were a very important lesson for me, because I know I am capable to handle my condition, I could address it in the past, and befor the trip I was thinking that was the time needed to look for some help (Ozempic, os something like this). But this strict period showed me that my body is still responsive. It is just a matter of mindset.
Weight fluctuates in often unusual and unexpected ways. I’ve seen days where I’ve raised and dropped by 2kg.76.9 kg this morning. That's down 100g on last week.
BMI 25.4
Frustrating week this week. For no explainable reason I put on 1 kg over night Monday so I've had to re-lose that weight again. Not the first time it's happened but it's much harder to lose these days than it was previously. But I got there, so fresh start for this week coming.
