My focus is on the  carnivore diet and keeping it simple.  So my diet is primarily Beef, Butter,  Bacon, and Eggs (BBBE).  I am

 Not adding any significant amount of carbs or anything fermented.   Both of those are above my comprehension level.  My carbohydrate  in take is always under 10 grams per day.  I eat no organs or sardines.

My monitoring is mostly from my Libre 2 Plus CGM.  I target a blood Glucose range of 70 to 140 mg/dL.  I closely watch my daily BGL graph and 7 day BGL  average.  

I currently using only Lantus, a long acting insulin.  With above mentioned diet i do not need any rapid acting insulin. 

Exercise is walking 3 to 4x a week for 40 minutes at a time.  200+ standing calf ups and sitting heel ups a day, sometimes many more.

Supplements  are D3/K2, Iodine, CoQ10. 

I eat mostly OMAD

My BGL  is on average 120, using 30 Units of Lantus insulin per day  on a split dose.  Long range i hope to decrease this dose. 

I am in my previous stated BGL range  95+ percent of the time. 

I keep a close eye on:

1.  BGL 

2.  Blood Pressure

3.  HDL

4.  Triglycerides 

5.   Height / waist ratio

6.  Body mass in lbs

How long have you been on the diet?

It is great to keep up with your glucose daily as the carnivore diet will probably help drop the glucose as that comes with lowering insulin resistance. I'm no doctor, nor any kind of medical professional (most don't count my University of Google Medical degree nor my degree from the YouTube School of Medicine, LOL) but one has to keep a check on glucose when taking any kind of medicine to lower it.

When a person turns that corner the combination of carnivore and the medicine could drive blood sugar too low and that can be just as much of a problem as being too high.

For the first year or so I checked my blood sugar daily. I never had any issues with blood sugar when I was on the dumpster diet, actually I never went over 100 until being on the carnivore diet. I got to 111 but about the time I considered myself fat adapted and was probably insulin sensitive my blood sugar daily dropped into the 70's and low 80's.

I also measure ketones when I am fasting. My next fast will be 72 hours with the first 36 being a dry fast and the last 36 will be a water fast. This will be my first attempt at a dry fast.

Good luck. great that you are keeping track of your numbers. I'm a big fan of Beef, Bacon, Butter and Eggs.

Diabetic for 30 plus years. Some my doctors seem disappointed at my health and strong kidney function. At age 60 and eating a Ketogenic diet they take every opportunity to test my heart, i always get very good results. On doctor said we'll u may not have a heart issue but you most likely will have a stroke ! My last HDL was 83, triglycerides 49. Is hard to not laugh at the doc in the office. I waiting for my insulin dose to be like < 10 units.
