Great. Good to hear. I wish all 1,000 well. Is small community. We grow slow.

Perhaps. I do not know but have heard if u come off the drug. The weight comes right back. So someone has to keep paying.

Yes. The main problem with GLP1 and SGLT2 is the lack of long term studied. They were never done a Ken Berry explains it. I suspect many high profile people are using them. Competition will increase supply and reduce prices. Insurance companies are likely not too happy right now

I wonder what they paid her??? Is also interesting she is using the drug.

Spoke person is Serena Williams.

We all are just a bit different to some degree. It is the bell curve, most of us are under it somewhere perhaps under one of the tails I react negatively to many drugs. Particularly T2DM and statin meds. Negative side effects. So I have c e to do the more natural, holistic, and simpler way. So this has landed me to a Ketogenic Diet, usually and mostly BBBE. My main objective is to control my Blood Glucose Level, BGL. The side effects are nice and include no joint pain, no skin issues, no heartburn, no sleep apnea, overall I feel better. No negative effects for a journey of 55 months. My Blood Glucose Level is regulated by a Ketogenic Diet and 25 units of Long Acting Lantus Insulin a day (down from 50 units) My 90 day Blood Glucose average is 114 mg/dL. Ranging between 70 to130, 95 percent of the time. My focus in February is increasing my exercise. Results are slow, but are steady. My journey began at age 65, far to late. Life is better and the prospects look decent long term For me, this is the only path that has worked i look forward to mor positive results in 2026. You all be well.

Ok. Sometimes not sure where I t b S hills be.

Thought this might be of interesr. Started a new Libre 2 Plus Senior today. The graph shows an erratic pattern. It takes 12 to 36 hourb to settle itself out. Just the way it usually happens. The actual BGL is likely in between the highs and lows

Unfortunately. Most people do not I t understand the GLP1 medication. Dr. Eric Westman recently stated in a video that a strong ( < 20 total carbs a day) Keto style diet would be more effective with less cost and side effects. People want easy and fast results.

Indeed, there lies the addiction, at least for me it was. The snickers, plus the ding dong, Etc. Every day, year after years. Of course there was bread. Pasta, potatoes, on it goes most all 'comfort' foods are loaded with carbs.

Getting my exercise in first thing. Nice to have it done. My morning routine includes Tony Hampton's latest video at 7 AM I like his simple explanations. Started delaying my morning coffee today. Paul

Wow, I mostly one meal a day. I just toning up my body. Did a short upper body workout today. Noy sore but feel i did something, lol.

Ok. I got a plan. Exercise is increasing. It is a zero carb life as per usual. Coke Zero is still in the rear view mirror. So in January I used no Rapid Acting insulin abd cut the long acting insulin from 50 units a day to 25 units a day. Looking forward to more positive results in February. Just have to wait and see how it goes. Be well, may u heal. Paulkk

Wow, great. We need more making it to 1,000.

I thank God almost every day that I am allergic to statins

Lol, I get it

Ty. Helps me think things out as I make changes for February.

02/01/2026. I am currently 69 1/2 years of age. Been improving my health for 55 months. I eat a Ketogenic Diet that is as close as I can get to Zero carbs each day. My last health issue is Diabetes. I was diagnosed T2DM on May 4, 1992. I am allergic to most diabetic drugs. I eat one meal a day (OMAD) . I mostly eat Beef, Bacon, Butter, and Eggs (BBBE). I maintain my Blood Glucose Level at <130 mg/dL. I currently inject 25 units of long acting Lantus Insulin once a day ar the same time every day. For 5 months previous I was using a 50 unit dose. I no longer use any rapid, short term acting insulin. Beginning today I am exercising more. My reduced my Insulin dose from 50bunits per day, after 5 weeks of not drinking Coke Zero. I do not know if there is a relationship there. This is a very recent change. I have no kidney or eye issues from being diabetic. I do have mild to moderate foot neuropathy. And I do have Chronic Venous insufficiency. I wear a Libre 2 Plus Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM). Using its reports, i make decisions on my Insulin dose and how what I eat and how my activity effects my BGL. I will soon do blood work labs to see how much insulin I am producing, certain enzyme analysis, and other tests. Hope to answer if am LADA, often called type 1.5 diabetes. I do supplement with D3/K2, Iodine, and Co-Q-10. I have a 6 month follow up appointment with an Endocrinologist in early April. Paul

Carnivore, just my opinion here. Is not going to be over about 5% of the population. Why.? Human nature and Addiction. You can go off plan, you do not die by eatting one Snickers bar. The lack of that outcome says it all. Is why there are seat belt laws, interlocking systems and the like. The final straw is people do not know or understand cholesterol, insulin, and basic biology. They believe the old repeating messages.

Much more to come is the likely way. This stuff is really being pushed. The advertisements are everywhere. Imo, the result of little or no long term tests.

Well, ty. Is my last big struggle in my health journey.

Ty, at noon. Friday. Jan 30, it still going down. On 30% less insulin.

Ok great, things are just changing at a rapid pace. Is very strange to me. I have done some finger sticks to be sure my CGM is working properly. Could be a very interesting weekend. Will update uball on Monday's live.

Yes, I get thevthinking, I understand. He seems pretty ok for 86 or so

Ok, my BGL continues to drop. So I am lowering my long acting Lantus insulin dose another 10 % this morning. My Blood Glucose Level continues to decrease as I eat Zero Carbs. The only change in my eating in the last 5 full weeks is I no longer drink 3 Coke Zero sodas @ 1/2 L each per day. Yes, I admit, some days it was more than 3. U know the ones, Plastic bottle, 16.9 ounces each as I recall. A long term addiction. I know not how long this trend will continue. I do use a Continuous Glucose Monitor with low Glucose alarms and I have Glucose Tablets on hand if treatment b is needed. So I do not feel i am in any serious danger. Of course, my PCP, various medical professionals, and the ADA will mostly disagree. Thank you all f
