A week of Zero Carb and No fast acting insulin. Look at me PCP,,

I my world lately, Dr. Tony Hampton is in 1st place. H e sees pat I ents, is well connected, in context he is very good.
Most of his videos are info packed, short, and his context is great.
Coupled with Westman and Bart Kay if u need science hard to find better. Just my honest thinking.

So I take it that somewhere a computer read my medical file, looked at my cholesterol and saw i was not on a statin. So a pharmacist, working for the insurance company phoned me to make me aware of this "RISK' . I explained i was allergic to all statuns. This pharmacist went on and on as to my risks. I thanked them and said goodbye. They really did th u s, lol

Nice. Ty

Yes. Another zero carb day in the book. 7 day BGL is 113 mg/dL. Lantus insulin dose @ 46 units. No fast acting insulin used in llast 24 hours.

As individuals with different physiology’s we are all our own N of 1.
Looking forward to hearing how yours turns out.

Yes. Another zero carb day in the book.  7 day BGL is 113 mg/dL. Lantus insulin dose @ 45 units. No fast acting insulin used in last 24 hours. 

All natural. Always zero carb !

Need a new phone, and i use a CGM. To avoid any issues i think I will get new phone when current sensor expires. Just to be safe. Not sure about doing it in the middle of a sensors life. Anyhow, it is time.

My eating window is usually less than 4 hours, onec a day. Mostly BBBE. I use the Liber 2 Plus CGM. Currently my BGL target is 70 to 150 mg/dL. I seek a zero carb intake. I am most likely a Type 1.5 (LADA) Diabetic. Diabetes for 30 plus years. I currently inject a long acting insulin called Lantus. I track A1c, HDL, Triglycerides, blood pressure, waist to height, and my weight. I usually do lab work quarterly.
Exercise is moderate. I supplement with D3/K2, Iodine and CoQ10. My future plan is yo increase exercise and reduce my insulin dose and keep my BGL in range (70-150). Eventually tightening the ranges upper limit to 130.

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.

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.

Never thought about that

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.

Indeed!

Like it or not each of us for the most part are on our own. Our health journey is self directed. No government, no doctor, no anything. I personally sort through you tube and Google. Sorting out what I need the best I can.
My objectives in the first quarter of 2026 are:
1. Continue to eat as low carb as possible.
2. Increase my exercise level.
3. Test my C-peptide and enzyme level to. see where my T2DM is at.
4. Somehow trim 1 pound a week off.
5. Continue to improve my metabolic health. Not sure exactly here.
I am not in a bad place, just need to be more optimal.

Got that, done it much if my life.

Got an eye exam, ordered glasses. Total bill was like $ 1100. I paid about 250. Insurance covered far more than I expected. So 10 to 14 days and I hope to see better.

Been on a journey to better health for 4 1/2 years. Much has changed. Finally I am consistent in my eating. Many issues are gone. My diet is mostly BBBE. Like 95+ percent. I do need to loose 25 pounds of fat. So that is an issue. And I need to maintain my Blood Glucose Level (BGL) between 70 - 130 mh/dL, with the BBBE diet and insulin. Unfortunately, when using insulin the weight control becomes a challenge. So I am increasing exercise. Not many other options. I appear to be be more T1D than T2DM. Soon will check C-peptide and some enzymes to better define my diabetes. My focus for 2026 is along those lines. I eat once a day. Going to be a ling slow year in 2026. I have tried many things to get to where I am at. I know there is no magic. My mind is open.

Being carnivore for 4+ years, as I read i could hear the other side using thus to point out the dangers of a carnivore diet. Oh well. I remember raising my kids, a family that was in our church was vegan. They talked about it at every opportunity and to me seemed to enjoy the attention. The whole family was pencil, stick thin. Many thought they were so 'healthy'. Any how, I know this my kids and now my grandkids, all do not float in water (pool) which means they atr on the lean side, muscle and bones. My grandkids are very active, athletic and fit. They are rather serious about Traditional Irish Dance, in competition they medal regularly. They have lots of human powered wheeled things like skates, scooters, and bikes. Where they live the recreation department holds running races by age group every other Sunday afternoon. They mostly win. My daughter restricts excessive carbs.

It is satisfying, keeps me out of carbs trouble

Ty for reply. Yeah old data not mean much. But my new data is somehow accessing the old for some reports. Any how is fine. I know I eating extremely low carb. Eventually Abbott will improve the CGM consistency. It is just a guide right now

Indeed!
