since I switched over to LCHF diet you have been advocating, my PP has normalised but fasting sugar is persistence. Can you please suggest causes and remedies?
please try to count the how much carb, protine you are taking per day. It really matters. Even though i reduced carb but my intake of protine made my FF high. when i cut down my protine intake FF came down below 100. but still long way to go.
Please reduce your carbs,to 20% of your diet,if not already done,Exercise ,brisk waking for one hour in the morning,40-45 minutes in the evening,use green vegetables those with minimum starch, use protein,fat ,moderately, drugs you are using are maximum permissible,your sugar fasting,post pondral is in the danger zone.Only met hi Dana cannot control your sugar.change your eating habits,limit your intake of every eatable to minimum of your hunger called lean diet.
do not do this mistake by replacing methi dana for medicine. try to reduce the carb intake. I myself controlling my FFG below 100 and PP 1 hour 103 just by following the lchf diet. I also cut down my medications.
humanity service is GOD's service! medfree, I got a new life through LCHF whatever i know i will share. If it is benefit to somebody it is great. I don't know much scientific fact about lchf. but i know if somebody truly follow they will get surely benefit. It is a time tested therapy for lakhs of people around the world.
When doctor and my sister told me for controlling my FBG I have take insulin injection then i seriously start to follow it and now i am reaping the benefit.
It is great that you accepted and follow LCHF diet. It is rather difficult for people to accept the fact that eating high quality fat does not cause any CHD or weight gain. Though I myself follow it, I am not still able to convince my sister about LCHF diet whose BS levels are dangerously high even after taking combination of diabetic drugs
People are so ignorant about their BS levels that even after PPBS levels of 160 they are not bothered. Now what average levels we see are considered normal levels.
maqsood 1947: I suspect you may be on normal (high carbohydrate) diet and do not exert your muscles much. I have been able to, within 18 weeks, bring down my average BS from over 285 to under 140 without any medicines. I cut out my carbs by 60%. tripled the fiber intake, added nuts etc and increased number of times I ate (reduced gap between meals)...yeah, double daily walk from 4 kilometers to eight. I jump started with a weight loss program and in the first week blood sugar came down 55 points!
Medfree - correction in your statement please- the phrase ' if protein and fat are restricted ' needs to be replaced by ' if protein and carb are restricted '
Dear sir,first pl make mind strong and quite. Strat from morning wake up early morning at 5 am .after finish morning works.go for morning walk.brisk walk do for one hour.

I enjoy discussing my diet with my dietician.The changes happening on her face as I discuss my LCHF diet is quite amusing .Even the doctor ,who originally was skeptical about my diet, keeps mum after seeing my reports !
Reducing / Eliminating Grains ( Rice / Wheat, etc ) is difficult for many, due to the spicy nature of our vegetable / fish / chicken, etc preparation. For some it could be the cost factor. Eating them bland, doesn't appeal to our modified taste buds. Preparing mildly spiced preparations ( recipes ), which can be had as standalones or with a combination of pepper, curds, butter, etc could perhaps, be the way out.
I myself find it very difficult to have plain salad.
Diabetes can be controlled with adequate diet regimen in which lot of fiber e.g. fruits vegetables whole grains in general. Professor Hiroichi Okuda of Ehime University Japan found a substance in Ginseng that produce similar effect to that of insulin, Chromium the mineral specially chromium picolinate is a very important element that intervenes for metabolism of sugar & insulin. it converts the carbohydrate, fats & some proteins into sugar & later into energy. Garnicia Cambogia inhibit formation of unwanted fat. So control of diabetes you should main your diet chart 75% calories come from complex carbohydrate, 20% calories came from proteins, eat little fat, eat minimum fiber every day. Lower the cholesterol you shou;d not not more than 300mg of cholesterol per day. eat small amount several times per day instead of 3 big meals. The body cell control blood sugar better. consume nutritional supplement. Exercise must its like a dose of insulin.
Soak the the methidana (about 20 gms) in cold water (room temperature) at 6-7p.m today and take half the amount before 6-7a.m tomorrow. It is better to have a brisk walk of about an hour after that. Medicines you should take as per your Doctor's advise. The other half of the medhidana as above should be taken 2-3 hours after breakfast and about 2 hours before lunch. There is no change of medicines now. After 3 months check both of your Fasting and PP blood sugars. If there is improvement please report then we cah examine your body weight and DIET. Keep a jolly mood. methidana is scientifically known as Fenugreek.
