Radii - thank you very much! I have been struggling to find the resources necessary to determine the protein/fat components, but I think that will help me!

I realize this post is a few months old - I'm curious to connect with you and see what the outcome has been? I have a very similar history - have been on oral meds (metformin) for almost 2 years - it worked great at first and now doesn't seem to be doing anything... am now on Lantus Solostar at night to boost my basal…

Because A1C is testing for an "average" of your BG #s over the past 2-3 months, fasting (or not fasting) won't impact the results of this test.

Ah - I figured it was Low Carb something - just didn't get to the High Fat part... I'm assuming it's like Atkins-style then? I need to figure out what levels my Macronutrients are supposed to be.... I know I'm supposed to be less than 100 carbs per day, but I am not yet sure what the other numbers for protein and fat…

What is LCHF?

My injury was over a year ago... it just seemed that it coincided with the ineffectiveness of the metformin... it's very odd... and I can't lose weight to save my soul right now... my BG numbers go through the roof when I exercise too, which I find strange... they also go really high if I *don't* eat for a long time...

okay so tonight, for my bedtime snack, I'm going to go all protein... I don't think I've tried an all protein snack, I usually try to balance the protein and carbs... I'm on such a low carb diet though and always under my limit for carbs and calories because my BG bounces literally all over the charts.... I walked 4.25…

If you're interested in learning more about Glycemic Index eating and trying it to see if it helps, I highly recommend "The G.I. Diet" by Rick Gallop... there are several related books (like "The GI Diet Express for Busy People) all by Gallop.... it uses a really easy method to explain GI eating, helpful charts you can cut…

Congrats on the 97 - I am ENVIOUS!!!! Did you change any thing? meds? food before bed? exercise before bed?? My out of bed # usually ranges between 120-140... but it will eventually go down to the low 100s by the end of the day.... I'm on a really low carb diet and an intro (500mg) of metformin a day... so not really sure…
