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

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.

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.

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.

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

@pauls - I merged your last four topics about insulin and blood glucose dropping into a single topic. This is a discussion forum, with conversations categorized by discussion topics. Not status updates like on social media.

I also moved them from the Carnivore Support Forum over to the General Health forum, since these comments aren't carnivore-specific.

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.

I enjoy the reads/your posts.

I have said before I would much rather read/listen to the results of the eating approach from a person that some long winded study or research experiment.

It is good to see your numbers and health moving in the positive direction.

I don't always reply but do enjoy the reads.

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