My Diab was diagnosed in 2006. I started developing & parallely practising LWMDR. When FBS, PPBS & HbA1c remained in normal range even with usual nondiabetic diet, I got an OGTT done. Its lab report was published in my blog at
I could not include a copy of the report here. I have included pictures in my previous posts but this time it is NOT WORKING. Please follow the link given above. Your inconvenience is regretted.

I was not bothering about calories of food intake neither those days nor now. THIS DOES NOT MEAN THAT I AM AN UNDEREATER OR OVEREATER.
While in office one colleague asked me during lunch time, this same question. I gave this same answer + I hail from an agricultural family. Then he advised me to be watchful on it.
He died of cardiac arrest two decades ago. We were of similar age; our children were classmates.
During LWMDR also I was not bothering about calories or grams. I WAS TAKING STOMACHFULL of Long Wheat Mash for breakfast & supper and a square meal of rice as lunch.
MY CURRENT BMPI IS > 1.0, HIS IS 0.0. WHAT IS YOURS?
LWMDR is the abbreviation of Long Wheat Mash Diet Regimen. You please search the acronym LWMDR in this site or in Google. All details are gicen at both places by myself.
After reading one or both of those, you are wecome to ask more specific questions, if any.
A person with 72 kg weight & 1.72 m height has BMI 24.33.
What caught my attention is that IRRESPECTIVE OF WHETHER THE PERSON IS A CURRENT BOXING CHAMPION, 100 M OLYMPIC GOLDMEDALIST, BEDRIDDEN PATIENT OR A DEADBODY, BMI WILL BE 24.33.
To me this does not make any sense.
A few days of thinking gave rise to the concept of BMPI. This also is a health scale as well as a ratio of body parameters. First two are as in the case of BMI height and weight. Third one is power, an approximate representation of PHYSICAL STRENGTH oh the person.
Strength is masured using a conventional mechanical doctor's weight scale. It is the reading shown by the dial by holding the machine by both the hands and squeezing/pressing the platform using all the fingers. Obviously the value will be in kilograms.
BMPI is defined as the result of STRENGTH or POWER MULTIPLIED BY SQUARE OF HEIGHT IN METERS & DIVIDED BY WEIGHT IN KILOGRAMS.
A person with 1.72 m height, 72 kg weight & 30 kg strength or power has BMPI = 1.23.
If the person is sick, ability to press the machine comes down there by the dial showing smaller number.
Strength factor being on the numerator of the formula, the result is DIRECTLY PROPORTIONAL TO ITS VALUE. Hence it is felt that BMPI gives a better picture about the physical health of a person in comparison with BMI.
Grip strength is not a good measure of fitness, IMHO. Way better would be 1 rm in squat, since the muscle group involved is much larger, and hence more representative of whole body fitness.
Is Blood test for sugar level 1 Hr after the meal conducted for diagnosing diabetes, inspite of normal HbA1C, fbs, ppbs after 2Hrs? I have not seen any doctor asking for 1Hr PPBS. If that has any indication of diabetis, that test also needs to be conducted for everyone. Otherwise it may go unnoticed, like in the case of Mr ShooterGeorge if he is considered to be still diabetic on this 1Hr test basis.
Seems that is also important in that case, especially for diabetics. The experiences of LCHF people are really revolutionary. Unless people have proven problems with fats, lchf looks like helping. Somehow, lchf is not going well with me. Whenever my fats intake increase, my lipids become quite bad in spite of 2 hr of exercise (1hr walking and 1 hr yoga) and active life style in general.
