Reporting improvement in glucose and tryglecerides after the third quarter of LCHF practice. No drugs.

But in lipid profile, there is little to write home. Values for the last three quarters (August - November -February)

HbA1C 5.8 > 5.3 > 5.1

FBS 115 > 102 > 108

PPBS 135 > 125 > 110

Tryglecerides 72 > 54 > 66 (used to be 145 earlier)

total cholesterol 208 > 220 > 243

LDL 150 > 170 > 190

HDL 44 > 46 > 48

Weekly checking glucose at home. PPBS ok. FBS somehow refuses to go <100.Rarely goes down to 95. Normally hovers around 100.

Dear Nataraj,

Please go through my previous posts. I have written in so much details. If you have problem in locating my posts, I am giving you the links.

You will see why I am reluctant to post the same thing again and again. These are very lengthy posts.

Yes Nataraj, I am happy to share my experience. My diet is not very systematic in the sense that there is no fixed meal plan. Otherwise life will become very boring. What I ensure is that I do not consume more than 100 g carbs in a day and do not stuff myself at each meal.

Early morning as soon as I get up, I take the ladies finger water (split ladies finger kept overnight in water and talking the water in the morning). Then I go for my walk and pranayaama session lasting 1 hour to 1and half hours. Then I take 1 glass freshly ground juice of bitter gourd and cucumber, 1 teaspoon phenugreek (methi) powder mixed with water, and green tea (organic India ltd., tulsi tea).

Breakfast: items made from long wheat products (upma, kanji or poori), ragi (dosa, puttu etc) or sandwich made of kraftkorn bread (50% carohydrate) two egg bulls eye, salad made of cucumber and lettuce with dressing made of fresh cream. Occasionally, I take three idlies or dosas instead of wheat prodcucts.

Morning snack at 11 am: 5-6 soaked almonds,plus butter milk or fresh lemon soda.

Lunch: 150 g cooked rice (60 g carb) made of boiled rice. All normal curries, especially those without gravy (mezhukkuperitty, thoran, avial etc) which can be taken straight without rice. There is salad made of lettuce and cucumber. Buttermilk. Fish curry or one or two pieces of chicken occasionally.

Evening snack: milked tea, small snacks not rich in carb.

Dinner: Only home made unstrained vegetable soup. Occasionally, fish or chicken in small quantity. No rice, chappathy or bread.

I do take fruits. Every day one kiwi fruit mixed with curd. sometimes one orange or two small pieces of banana.

This is my routine food. But occasional cheating or deviation due to social reasons, but keeping in mind the basic mantra of "no over-indulgance'.

I do not take ALA or any vitamin supplements. I might go in for that after I test my thyroid. Yes VCO is part of my diet.

I check my blood sugar at least 10 times a week. Any food (or its quantity) that pushes my PP beyond 140 is avoided or regulated based on this test. I check my A1C, FB and PP in lab every three months. My lipid profile is checked every six months.

I think I have the problem of liver dumping, because sometimes, I go to bed with BS level 100 and wake up with higher BS, but within 110. Trying to check it through diet.

Carb counting the key to my sugar control. Hope this answers your queries.

in reply toSugu

Sugu Thanks for sharing your diet and other information. As per food pattern ragi used I think u may be south Indian origin ?

I am not opposed either LCHF orany system but to contro the B S

Level to the normal value is important.

Less carb consumption is good fordiabetics but south Indian vegitarians foods are tempty and it creates interest and to load more quantity here we people to avoid the temtyness and maintain clean diet format

Systamatic diet excercises and taking medcines wiil control BS level.

I think u informed about liver dump Can u please explain how u face the liver dump Thanks

If FBS istested ifex it comes 100 then PPBE for 2 hours if comes 140 then 4 hours itmust come 100 and this stick on every o4 hours if u any consume.
