I'm at the hospital running all the preop tests for surgery next week (thyroid). My diabetes comes up and I get the lecture about being off metformin (till they hear my doc took me off a year ago, old medical records still in system), and the eye rolling when I'm gushing about LCHF... So they decide I need a glucose test added on since I'm diabetic (and controlling with diet alone).

Comes back - 95.

Booyah! I see the shock and respect in their eyes as they start asking all about the KETO diet and how I got my a1c from over nine to a six in about 18 months and "how much weight did you lose? Wow, congratulations".

XD LULZ.

    Awesome! you are doing so well. It does get annoying with the eye rolling when we talk about low carb, but the results speak for themselves :)

    That's so fantastic!!! I'm looking forward to eye rolls when I meet with my husband's doctor on Friday.

    I see my doctor tomorrow, and I am down about ten pounds from when I saw him in May. I told him at that time that I was eating LCHF with IF and only wanted his "oversight" about medications. As it is, I have (on my own initiative) reduced my Metformin by half, with no adverse effects on my BG, and I cannot wait to see if my A1c will finally be in the normal range. (It was 5.7 in May)
    Would love to come back and tell you I have convinced him...we shall see!

    Yeah all of you. Keto has tons of benefits and very few risks. Let's keep it up.

    I think if we just stay the course we are changing minds about low carb and a few more are even acting on their changed mindset. Great job.

    I was very polite to them, but as soon as I saw my husband at lunch, I'll admit I gloated a bit. /grin

    I think that little bit of gloat, if in good taste, was well deserved.
