[QUOTE="Nirac, post: 2369978, member: 507559"] Thanks - I’ve been doing intermittent fasting( Dr Jason Fung fan ) for a couple of years but not always consistently & my husband has been type 2 for 20 years ( on insulin g go or last 3 yes) so I’m fairly aware of dietary choices etc. I’ve been aiming for under 100g of carb a day in a 4 -8 hour eating window ending 8pm & ‘clean’ (water plus black tea & coffee) fast usually 8pm - 12 noon minimum. I was diagnosed end of Jan this year, asked for hba1c test as couldn’t seem to keep weight from creeping up. Late onset T2 does run in my family. I do quite a bit of exercise & can now happily do a 26m bike ride whilst fasted. I’m probably around 10-15 kg over ideal weight & approaching 57yrs old. Really want to delay or avoid medication etc if I can. Have read up lots but advice can be varied. Being diagnosed has motivated me to treat this really seriously - my mother sadly had vascular dementia along with diabetes & other issues, so I’d like to avoid that if it can. Having read other threads I see people take blood sugar immediately on waking & so I started doing that & noticed how high mine are in relation to other people. Maybe the ‘Dawn’ high levels is something I’m prone to, so seems a sensible thing to monitor. I’ll also start testing pre & 2 hour post meals to see what’s happening there. Random sampling can see me anywhere from 3.9 to 12, so at the moment I’m definitely way outside of an ideal variation of ‘2’ . This is all interesting- I feel a bit like a science experiment. Fascinating how everyones biology can be so different but also how we can learn and change/affect what is happening. Thanks for all advice & information [emoji847] [/QUOTE]
