I was a little concerned my streak was coming to a halt. I adjusted my Long Acting insulin and did some exercise. All is well, day 4 is fine. Praise to my lifestyle.

A chocolate, a pumpkin, and a plain/lemon. All baked, chilled, and portion into containers and in the freezer. 1.5 pounds of Philadelphia cream cheese in each one ! They are very carnivore. This will get me to the new year with very few carbs. I might try a batch or two of a low carb cookie recipe. My thanksgiving is home alone. As the grand kids will be on the road in Irish Dance Competitions. I bought two good size packages of turkey thighs for the crock pot.

Amen, yes indeed. Day 4 is in the bag. Just adjusting the long acting insulin. U b well

Maybe, perhaps. I would not bet against me. If you do bet against me you may never have a lucky day. As will sonnet said no brag, just facts

A full day 3 done, ZERO carbs,ZERO fast acting insulins, and had to cut long acting insulin by 30% i know some Primary Care Physicians would be outraged. They do not want a 69 year old diabetic having a BGL of 70 walking around. Many Physicians label me as a non compliant patient. Ok, I get it. So I reject vaccinations, i self diagnose , I self medicated. The doctors seem saddened I am allergic to statins. Thank you God for that allergy. Here is to a day 4 band hopefully beyond of thr same. U b well.

My Libre 2 Plus sensor expired, I applied a new one and after a 1 hour warmup a BGL is reported every minute. Numbers look real and I confirmed so with a finger stick. For the moment it looks good. The bonus is I also marking my second 24 hour period in a row of needing No fast acting insulin. I also cut my daily dose of long acting insulin by four units. My recent record is 3 days without using short acting insulin. Her is to going for 4 days in a row !

Him mmmmm, nice

I am talking to my phone app for my Libre 2 Plus CGM. The low blood glucose alarm is silenced (I turned it's piercing ring off), it still vibrates every 5 minutes. I tell the app not to worry, I am fine. It's vibrating warning continues. I had to cut back my Long Acting Lantus Insulin today. Would be nice if I really did not need the Fast Acting Insulin any more. I think that with cautioned hope. In the near future I plan to have the Endocrinologist order the needed blood labs to see if i am LADA. Be nice to know. Endocrinologist thinks most likely I am based on my need/response to injected insulin. I be happy to not ever need fast acting insulin again and just be on a low daily dose of long acting insulin. I have read of T1D on carnivore doing that. I have not completely dismissed the idea of the Carnivore Diet 'fixing ' my pancreas to a range where I not need to inject any insulin. I see the headlines now, Hardcover carbohydrate addict and T2DM for well over 30 years has fantastic blood glucose control on BBBE ! I can still dream. U all be well

A day in range, that 61 was a 70 on a finger stick. This from my Libre CGM. No fast acting insulin today, just long acting insulin. Onward Carnivore lifestyle.

Never thought about that

On September 30th, the old 2 and 3 CGM sensors were discontinued. Replaced by the 2 Plus and 3 Plus sensors. If you or a loved one uses these sensors this will be informative. There is a problem with both. These sensors last 15 days now. And there is a new phone app. The app is called Libre, ot Libre by abbott. I use c the 2 plus most Insurance plans prefer the Liber over Dexcom for cost considerations. Enough background. The Libre sensors read your Blood Glucose Level (BGL) every minute and via blue tooth send it to your app on your phone. The sensor is worn on the back of either upper arm. Once on your arm it takes 1 hour to "warm up" before sending readings. Readings can be somewhat erratic for up to 48 hours. The sane was true for the older 2 & 3 models. But, now it continues for the sensor life of 15 days. For me my readings look 'normal' for 3 to 5 hours then I am doing nicely at 110 in 3 to 5 minutes I am at 52 , then 6 to 8 minutes later I am 154. 5 to 10 minutes later I back steady at 110. Nothing a diabetic wants to see or deal with. So I have confirmed the 110 reading with a finger stick. Abbott, the company making the Libre is aware of this issue. They say there are 2 teams working on the issue. I wish them success ASAP. I deal with this with a few finger sticks. And never make a hasty decision about my treatment,,, like what ineed to eat, insulin type and how much. My old Libre 2 sensors that i uesd for a few years were pretty reliable. In fact the 90 day BGL report was a good prediction of my A1c. Be well, pray for Abbott.

Ok, carnivore has fixed a lot of things for me. Only one thing left. The diabetes. Is no fun at all. I eat virtually Zero carbs a day and I like a Type one Diabetic. I need insulin to stay between 70 to 140 mg/dL my CGM reports i maintain that 85% of the time. The other 15 % is like between 141 and 160. I imagine as time goes on i will grow more steady. I the near future i will ask my doc to test my C-peptide again to see how much insulin my pancreas is making. Also test for the enzyme to see if it am now LADA.

My fasting is one m meal a day, I have tried linger but did not see any result from it. Fasting helps certain things under certain conditions, is not imo a cure all solution. Just like hiw carnivore does not not fix or make everything better.

U go young girl @

I eat one meal a day, no snacking. I consume no real carbs. Any craving i put to rest with a cup of coffee. I not interested in an substitute for carbs. I have learned to avoid.
