New, well sort of.
Not really changing anything. Just, i now realize that if it is good for T1D then it good for I t all diabetic types. So, it is still zero carbs. With a focus on exercise. I am carefully examining everything. I am exploring the wisdom put forth by Dr. Richard Berstein, MD. In doing so I believe there is a better insulin regime that will suit my carnivore lifestyle better. Therefore I doing a bit of experimenting. Older types of insulin can be purchased in most states at Walmart. No prescription needed. You have to ask for it at the pharmacy counter. Labs are going to plan and I should have results inside of 2 weeks. I am figuring out the details, mostly without my doctors. Every one be well.

Is your CGM accurate?
I watch Tony Hampton every morning. Was a good post. I left a comment there. I forget who regulates CGM and other Glucose meter accuracy. They have to show a an accuracy of plus or minus 12%. so if device says 100, a blood lab needs to be between 88 and 112. Manufacturers file regular reports.

T2DM - Type 2 diabetes
Every other American is pre type 2, type 2, or one of those undiagnosed. Dr. Ken Berry estimates 70 % of all PCP can not diagnose T2DM properly. It costs 1.5 Billion dollars per day. Is the leading cause of cardiovascular disease. If T2DM was contagious., the streets would be empty. It increases by a percent or two every year. Likely to hit 60% in 2030. A leg is amputated from a diabetic every 4 minutes. Toes every 2 minutes. That's what it really is. The ADA has not had any positive effect , ever. The Ketogenic diet is the most studied dirt for T2DM. Just the facts, people

Oh the prices.
Was not sure where to post this. I was watching some recent Dr. Ken Berry a few days ago. I was interested as the subject was diabetes. He mentioned his private group so I looked it up. $ 30 a month I r $ 300 a year. Like 4 years ago entry lev was $ 5 a month. I left after about 18 months. At that time there was about 9000 Members. That would b e minimum of 45,000 dollars a month. At 30 a month he needs 1,500 signed op to match that. I would think at his pricing it may be a decent n t group. Is any one a current member?? I just curious.

Still eating ZERO carbs
UPDATE ! I Just looked at my CGM, all reports, and all cycle periods. Is encouraging to see a noticeable change at 7 day intervals. Steady movement in the right direction. Slow, but steady. I am g getting ready to contact my Endocrinologist for some additional labs to better quantify my Diabetes. Will not see my PCP until mid July. I expect they will be a bit stunned with my results. Just keep on the ZERO Carb Train. U all be well

So I had some better thinking this morning. My metabolic health improves and I do better. A very small daily improvement may not register in any noticed way. But over 7 to 14 days of consistent feeding and exercise it show a small gain. Lack of consistency in diet exercise and or BGL and it builds a lack of results. For me staying on track is crucial, a must. A small disturbance in careful eating or exercise and results slow, stop, or even reverse. Atleast at this stage of my journey. In our community there often is a big focus on big and quick results. Alot depends on where you are in your journey. Just my observations. Be well

Watching my 90 day BGL average decrease by 1mg/dL every 14 days or there about. It is now down to 112 mg/dL My insulin dose is remaining condtant. By the end of February I anticipate a small reduction in my insulin dosage will be something I will do. Again, I remain ZERO carb, Coke Zero free, and coffee is down to 12 ounces per day. Going in the right direction, i can measure the slow progress. Is warmer now, so getting more walking in. Be well all. It is nice right now

Seeing the trend on my Continuous Glucose Monitor reports. It was nice to see this evening. Not settling any record pace in the decline. Is going in the desired direction. That is a win. Even slight reductions are good. If you are in a weight 📉way , u get my meaning. Onward, be steady be as true as u need to be for yourself. Everyone be well, February is half over.

For me, fasting is an interruption to my rhythm. My body does best with a constant rhythm.

Super Bowl ad GLP-1
The dosage of a GLP1 for blood sugar control (will loose a few pounds) and the dose for weight loss are about 4x÷. Bigger dose is more possible side effects. My body does not like several drugs. All of the diabetic drugs, oral or injections, Have not worked for me mostly due to bad side effects. I continue on Zero Carb eating and insulin. And Increasing my exercise. Will se that things look like at the end of this first 3 months.

I am once again reviewing my dietary lifestyle. Seems constant review is mandatory to continue progress. Gone is the Coke Zero, most all artificial sweeteners, and now coffee is on the table. I never thought I would even consider reducing of eliminating coffee. Better health does take precedence. As a diabetic my insulin injection dosage remains constant as my BGL average slowly declines. 7 day average Blood Glucose Level is 105 and 90 day average is 114. I know my PCP thinks I am too aggressive in my blood sugar control. My endrinconologist thinks I am ok and likes my result. Once u get in your 60s doctors think A1c under 7 is ok. Move into your 70s and <8 is ok. Not for me. Coffee consumption is now going down to 2 mugs a day. Yes it is a 12 0unce mug. Please do not ask me how much reduction it is, let's just say a significant decrease. So Zero carb eating is my thing. Appetite ebbs and flows, goes up and down somewhat, but overall us consistent. Will call to request necessary blood work in early March to hopefully define my diabetes better. May everyone make progress along their path.
