The Zero Carb Lifestyle continues, being careful about any dairy. Have to limit cheese and possibly HWC. Wave a conversion factor to apply to my CGM readings. I multiply the CGM value bu 1.2 to get my real BGL number. M I ee this c evening.

Spent 3 hours jumping through medicare insurance hoops. Had to change carrier to better fit my needs. Will lower my out of pocketbco a t hy almost 90 dollars c a month. T h e things webhavebto do.

It could be a very long story, so here it is short. I use the Liber CGM (2 plus model) and my finger stick glucometer is the Relion Primeer. So how accurate are they. Of to the lab via Own Your Labs for a fasting blood gluecose. Glucometer and test strips with me. CGM 82 mg/dL Glucometer 98 mg/dL Lab Corp 99 mg/dL So 98 verses 82, a 20 % difference. Thre more finger sticks and each is very close to 20 % more than my CGM. Therefore;: (CGM reading) X 1.2 = adjusted BGL I am very sure of this. So I convert my CGM now. This morning my CGM reports a 7 day average BGL of 80. 80 x 1.2 = 96 mg/dL. So back to going after my 84 mg/dL target. Zero Carb Carnivore Lifestyle

U know the finger stick thing. I found out when I get a fasting glucose lab just bring the meter and test strips. As the tech fo a drop of blood to test, my tech was nice and so I had a number to compare to the lab result for to compare, was a close match. Now I can see how close my CGM is at home.

Ty, onward

Now on to 70.

Over 55 years ago we landed 2 men on the moon and returned them to earth, safely. In a few years we did it 5 more times. Today we do not have a reliable (say 95%) and accurate (say plus or minus 5%) Continuous Glucose Monitor. With 4 days left on the sensor it crashed, Replace Sensor, comes the error message. Ok I getting over it. My last reported 7 day average BGL was 84. 1 away from a target of 83. New target is now 70. So come morning I will make the phone call for a replacement. Ty for letting me get o v er this.

Yes, for right now I am dependent on exogenous Insulin ( about 1/2 of what I used 3 months ago). And do not worryj, even when my BGL is 55 I got energy b and brain power.

The results are in. The lab reported my A1c at 6.1%. Which compares to my CGM's reported 90 day Glucose Management Indicator (GMI) of 5.9. Nicely close. So retest in mid July, 17 weeks from now. Targeting < 5.0. Working out at gym 3x a week now. Yes following Bernstein's recommendations for men at 70 years old. And continue the Zero Carb Carnivore Lifestyle. The CMP panel was very good, nice kidney function!

Indeed, thankfully I good a digging up answers and judging content. I have a list of red flags.

The real issue in life is knowing how to learn. Like it or not it is each person's responsibility to learn what to eat. Nobody forced poor food choices on you. U selected the wat you eat. The medical community and the government were of little help. We been harmed not our fault, but yes, our problem. My world is the Zero Carb Carnivore Lifestyle. It took 4 years to learn that. Be well my friends.

Lol, ty. I be happy with a A1c < 5, and < 25 units of insulin per day by 07/12/2026. Marking my 70th birthday!

Great, very nice to see good results. My some what recent weight increase is reversing. As of, 3/15 /2026 my 7 day BGL has dropped to 87, the goal of 83 is in reach.

Very cool, I like that! Tu
