Lol, I get it

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

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

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.

Ty. Young fella. I trying not to get too excited. Be well

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.

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.

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

It is 12:15 AM. This is not fun. The CGM app allows me to shut the alarms off for up to 6 hours. 2 of the 4 average glucose reports are lower. My BGL is 64, a painful finger stick just to be sure. My CGM is at 56 and apears to be stabilizing, no need to treat at the moment.
I never thought giving up Coke Zero would cause this. No one warned me of this. I have no carbohydrates in the house. Just orange flavored glucose tablets, like a sugar cube. 4 grams of carbs each. , if I need them. I envision my PCP with a worried look on their face. They thinking how risky the Ketogenic diet is. PCP thinks I should c eat a "healthy " ADA Adiet and control my BGL with insulins. And maintain an A1C between 7 snd 8 %. No, I not doing that, I keeping my toes and legs. As well as my eyessight and kidneys.
Sorry to rant on. Ok back to sleep, will see if i have to reduce my next long acting Lantus insulin injection in the morning. Right now looks like another 10 % reduction.

I know it looks like i am crazy. Considering my Continueos Glucose Monitor (CGM) data over the last 12 hours I think I better cit my next dose of Lantus Insulin another 10% just to be safe. My average Glucose over the last 12 hours is about 70. BTW, I split dose my Lantus every 12 hours. So I have gone from 2 injections @ 25 units to 2 injections @ 20 units per day. I have never before had to make such a change. What ever happens i will post it on this site.

Ok, so been just over a month that I stopped drinking Coke Zero. Now my Blood Glucose Level (BGL) is going down like every day. It has been like 2 weeks since I have used any fast acting insulin. Now today I reduced my long acting, Lantus insulin by 10 % . is probably too early to state i did not cut that dosage deep enough, but it could be the case. I guess it is a wait and see thing. So I beeing careful to keep accurate records of my insulin usage. It will be interesting if this trend continues. I be the first to say. If this turns out to be a big thing. I will be shocked.

Every BGL average reporting period is trending down. In simple language, my daily BGL is down 30 mg/dL in 30 days. Other than the consumption of about 2 liters (about) of COKE ZERO a day i made no other changes. Actual consumption was really like 1.5 liters a day, now that ii really think about it.
Could be shocking.

BGL IS STILL SLIPPING. 7 DAY Average is 94, all systems are go.

BGL Is still going down. So right now I am not using any fast acting insulin. My long acting, Lantus insulin dose is constant. Will give it time, if it holds or drops more I will Very slowly dial back the lantus insulin. I an thinking very slow reduction in dose might be best for me, allow body to adapt.

So as my 7 dsy average BGL drops to 98, I just had a utube ad by Rx scripts for introduction pricing for Ozempic. I am sure some believe this is 'the way' to health. Unfortunately, long term effects are not known. Very sad. I say no more. We all go on, marching on our journey.

H E Y ! So very much Zero Carb, my 7 day Blood Glucose Level (BGL) just got down to 100 mg/dL. WOW, DID NOT see this coming, but it is real. My Continuous Glucose Monitor appears to be functioning properly. It is nice. Yes my tolerance for carbs is , yeah, Zero.
May u all have joy in your journey too !

Some numbers : Avg. BGL
7 Day Avg. 102
14 Day Avg. 105
30 Day Avg. 109
I just keep as close as possible to ZERO Carb as is possible. My PCP says a Ketogenic Diet is a health risk and an ongoing problem for me. The same person tells me I may not have a heart attack bit a stroke is likely. They have no evidence.

My 7 day BGL average has dropped to 96 mg/dL. I did a finger stick to check my CGM, everything is in range. Not even going to think about it continuing to drop more. But stay tuned.

Is Monday, we fit 11 inches of snow. It has a crusty top to it. Forecast h e re, Lancaster, PA is below freezing temps for 10 days out. All carnivore systems are go. I remain very ZERO carb. Hopefully, February will be not so cold. Onward to the beat of the carnivores drum. Still diet sode free. I am exercising, shoveling u know whst
