So currently having more days with no need for any fast acting insulin ! Nice. So still eating as close as one can to zero carbs. I plan for 2026 to be a year of daily eating zero carbbs. Targeting my blood glucose between 70 tp 130 mg/dL. Hoping to average at 100. Going to take some doing but I am ready. I not sure what is fully ahead for me in 2026, but this plan comes first. So looki out to anyone in the medical community, do not mess with me.

I fully understand, I may never be fully off the need for some insulin, but let's see how far 1 year of zero carb eattinh and increased exercise might reduce the need for insulin.

Good morning, I am a week into my future. I am down 10 lbs but the last three days I haven't lost any weight but my insulin at this point is holding between 100-140 and any am taking half my dose of metformin and half dove of lantus. I am constantly monitoring my blood sugar using my Libre3 monitoring.

Keep up the good work!

Being a total hypocrite, don't look at the scales in the very beginning ( I did just about daily, LOL). It is better and more self serving to take notice of more important things, like how you feel, and the one snug pair of pants is now loose fitting.

That was the advice that was given to me early on, (and I ignored it) and now I am passing that tidbit forward (and odds are you will ignore it, most do, LOL).

Congrats on the first week. My weight fell off really fast the first months and then I hit my first stall. Watching the scale drop just about a pound a day for 30 days was amazing but when it stalled it made the stall all the more disheartening. Everyone is different and metabolic health and weight moves their needles at different rates for different people.

Until carnivore I never had a fasted blood sugar result over 100 and my highest has been 111. That shift/moving of the needle triggered me to buy a glucose monitor so I could track it. I had an initial rise and then it fell back into the 80's. I was intrigued by the number of the scale and the glucose meter so I bought a ketone meter as well.

And then in time I hardly use any of it, maybe the scale once or so per week.

Good luck and welcome.
