After a year of diagnosis ..I came back to re read this .much more meaningful to me know..like the GLUT4 info..will have to research this..do strongly however believe in th benefits of intermittent fasting so would be contra to the skipping meal advice offered...agree with impacts ar different per individual

Back again..

July A1C..being last 3mth measurement came in at 6.0.. All lifestyle change..better diet and exercise..

Here is a link..I think this is open to anyone as the interactions are done virtually..but it maybe only for Canadians in this link..and those in the UK on another link...here is that link https://okanaganedge.net/jobs/exercise_in_persons_with_t2d-_study/4376739/

My study contact informed me this study will run for 2 years.. so you can join anytime..

Luck to you... Sounds like you have a proven method of control.. Some times waiting and restarting on a Monday can give you the time to psych up and kick start a new plan.. Giddy Up! you won't need luck 😉

Bumper on the diagnosis.. gotta get that liver and pancreas fat down a bit and voila.. you will drop outta T2D levels.. can suggest you try a walk a night after dinner which gets you away from temptation and helps to burn the dinner glucose before it stores away as fat in those critical organs...for craving at night…

Had my first 3 month blood panel and A1C was down from initial 11 to 6.1. Dr. was pleased, and wanted to stay the course with metformin.. I told him I never took the pills.. he was ok with that based on the results he was seeing.. he also seemed to change his tune on it being a progressive disease..so good news.

Just had my first day on the study - they provide you with a continuous libre lifestyle pro glucose meter - very cool, no finger pricks and 24 hour data on glucose values - you waive the meter over the sensor you install on the back of your arm and instant measurements with a graph of results over time - very very detailed…

Hi.. was informed that I might be better suited posting in the LCHF community..which as it appears has a large section on diabetes and with diabetics...

The package with goodies came for the T2D study - this afternoon is the Zoom meeting to prep for the First measurements and the start of the 6 months that the study will entail..

Had my first 3 month blood and lipid panel recently, since being diagnosed in early January - then my A1C was 11.0 and now with lifestyle changes ( diet (some intermittent fasting) and exercise - no other vices existed besides sugar addiction) and not taking any metformin as was prescribed by my physician, my new A1C was…

Was successful in joining this study - personal trainer to set up exercise routine, wrist band to monitor exercise, blood pressure monitor, scale and glucose monitor ( 24 hrs monitoring ) to be provided - also like the fact that I have someone to answer to for completing the exercises - whip snap sound.. things start this…

Will have my zoom interview next week for this study..if interested in joining and meet the criteria you can start at this link.. Motivatet2d.com

Just applied to be a participant in our local university study on T2D for newly diagnosed individuals 40-75 yrs of age.. it is based on measuring and improving motivation for home exercise.. I hope I get selected.. they have consultants and assessments..I believe there will be continual glucose monitoring and heart rate…

the CBD (indica based) also will assist with sleep... add a bit more THC to the mix and you have to get comfy as you will not move all night :)

looks like the answer to my question in the other post on when you measure FBG is answered here - in the morning..I too get high morning FBG .. FYI that kitchen at the new work sounds like the perfect excuse to extend Fasting. can still have green tea as there is a kettle and surprising how that can be effective to hold…

hi -wondering if your measured FBG a morning reading ? do you take your readings the same time each day ? or several times a day ?

Tried a tip to help reduce Morning High BG levels - take 2 tablespoons of ACV before bedtime - it worked :)

Penne freezes very well - spread cooked/drained penne out on a cookie sheet till frozen, then bag it - I use to go from frozen penne from the freezer direct to the pan.

Thanks for the tip..

Costco - Pedon Yellow Lentil Spaghetti ..tasty if a bit a le dente

Starting regiment of daily dosage of CBD oil.. Having poor daytime BG readings even while Fasting..evening BG numbers ar ok..believe it is only on work days..so believe this is cortisol impacting insulin .. CBD is shown to reduce.anxiety and stress..ie tame cortisol..so should work to improve insulin's abilities..

Have appointment booked tomorrow to donate blood..or what I am calling a redneck dialysis..

So some set backs with the calf tear -- weight is not coming off Changing to Non-diabetic range on BG monitor was very discouraging Fasting - easing into this, but finding my BG is high not only in the morning - which I thought was a morning natural high - but is staying there right into the afternoon... I think the stress…

Good News / Bad News Bad News - in 'training' for a 5k on the Garmin Coach plan - I managed to injure myself - calf tear - so out of commission for a couple weeks.. Good News - my BG monitor tells me that the results were 100% in range for the last week - a steady improvement with Diet change to LCHF, daily short stints of…

Interesting podcast with David Sinclair - he runs an anti-aging research center at Harvard Medical - is a molecular biologist -amazing accomplishments and we can expect that his work will help all mankind reach an extend lifespan of 120 yrs.. so I am only approaching mid age now I guess :) His advise - get your DNA checked…

This Article noted above from Holly St. Lifer a health and fitness writer - Ladie's Home Journal - focuses on a female case history and explains in excellent understandable terms the science of visceral ( belly ) fat. Here is couple grabs from the article: 1] the flow of fat from our arms, legs, and hips to our stomachs is…

Interesting article..anyone up for a book review...well actually it is one page online article https://www.aarp.org/health/fitness/info-2007/belly_fat.html

Thanks for sharing..and gr8 to hear that the meds are going..I am getting some good BG numbers and the weight is falling off ☺️
