[QUOTE="Troubled1, post: 1755936, member: 406460"] I was diagnosed type2 11 years ago at 42yo. The first three years I followed my dietician’s advice and actually lost roughly 20lbs and my bg’s were always within range. I would get Hba1c readings in the normal to pre-diabetic. When I got “normal” test results back I would slack off on my diet then the next test would come back higher. For me it was mainly a portion control issue. My plate would be covered in pasta or rice and often I would go back for seconds. I rarely got a 2hr pp reading above 8.0. What I have learned in the last year regarding low carb and IF I’d probably the reason why my numbers were relatively good. For most of my adult life I ate high carb meals but the catch was 75% of the time I was only eating the one meal per day. Now, 11years out from diagnosis, I’m still not on any meds. Using the Hba1c calculator on this site and my 90 day average blood glucose number, my Hba1c (calculated) comes out to 5.6. Not perfect but considering I’m still only diet controlled, I can live with it. My last Hba1c although calculated at 5.7 came back at 6.1 so never assume the calculators to be perfect. In my case due to lchf, my Dr didn’t even mention the increase in Hba1c but kept on pushing the statins which I again refused. I test 6-8x daily so I know what foods to avoid and what foods I can have occasionally without raising my bg’s too much but still limit the portion. I haven’t had any of the complications and I’m sure if I low carb and test, I shouldn’t have to worry. [/QUOTE]
