Yay keto
Wednesday is my blood work, really curious to see where my a1c ends up. 3 -
106 (5.89)
@shadus just curious how low you went with your carbs? i read bernstein's book but honestly ould not be happy with cutting my carbs that low and so would not be able to sustain it long term.
i have reduced my carbs from 45% down to 30% and when i keep to that goal i like my levels ... usually in the 90s2 -
yesterday was 97 & today was 126 ... too much cake late last night at BD party1

I went to <30g/day (mostly), it seems to 'behave' if I stay under about 50g though... above 60g my BG numbers get real wonky. I wanna keep losing weight and see if that helps stabilize my numbers some and then do testing on actual carb tolerance. I don't care about being in ketosis exactly, I care about keeping my sugar numbers in a good range... right now keto seems to do that without medication (and its pretty easy to lose weight on as dietary changes go.)1

Sorry I've been missing lately. just wasn't into the whole "oh I have diabetes, I better behave better"
So, this morning my FBS was 4.4(79) which is way too low for me. So, I had a yogurt, and 15 minutes later it was 6.3(114). Much better.
I've been off the rails with my food for the last couple weeks, and my pancreas is letting me know this morning. I thought it was muscle pain from carrying my bike and then going for a short ride. Nope, definitely paying the price for bad choices.
So, I'll take it easy today, liquids, tylenol, and resting. I don't want to end up in the hospital again.2 -
@edintx Wow! That's fantastic progress. @judyvalentine512 Smart thinking. Don't beat yourself up...we all have bouts with relapses. You can do it. Rest today
After breakfast twom hours later - 94. Happy with that after morning surprise1 -

Thank you for the encouragement.1

68 today fasting & 70 at doctor (not really a concern on keto down to about 55 once fat adapted, since very few things using glucose to run, and no symptoms of hypo at all), had my 3 month check up-- a1c is 4.7, hell yeah! Not bad from almost 10 3 months ago ^_^
Doctor was actually supportive which is nice too, said he usually recommends ada diet because its easier to stick to and is a massive improvement over most peoples "normal diet", but finds except for causing excessive constipation in some people keto works really well when people can stick to it. Said whatever I'm doing... keep doing it because it's working.
50 lbs gone, another 70-80 to go. KCKO!2 -

A1c = 4.7 --> Bravo!
I just loathe that patronizing doctor's mantra, "patients won't do what's best for them, so I'll feed them a plan that will kill them more slowly."

Hi, my name is Lynn. I am a carb-aholic. My fbs for the last month has been incredibly high... around 189. I need to be here, get back into a better diet and loose the weight I have gained in the last 7 months. I am only on metformin 2000mg per day but am wondering if I need more meds at this time. You can throw me a letter with advice if you feel so inclined. Thx.0

In regards to meter accuracy-- this test will make most of you slightly ill, and from what I've seen from my own 3 meters, its pretty much true across the board... but +/-10 seems fairly common across all meters... and really that's not nearly accurate enough. I think lack of accurate testing is harming most diabetics an awful lot.

I've done same drop of blood on 3 meters, got 3 different results, pull strips, replace, same drop of blood on all 3 again, not one matched previous results... the one i use now is an accu-check aviva, and it consistently comes up with smaller variability than the other two, but rarely even on same drop of blood same number twice... often +/-5-10 (old two were up to +/-30, which is functionally worthless imo.)0
