Fasting Blood Sugar 5.3 mmol/L
Inflammation is a fickle creature and it loves to pick on me...lol. I weigh myself daily, I just don't post daily anymore. Actually haven't posted daily for awhile now because of said inflammation. I've learned it is something I can't control with everything else going on in my body. And we all know from previous posts I deal with a ton of stuff - all health related.
But I can say I am still following the Carnivore way of life about 95% of the time. This is something I enjoy. I've been Carnivore for almost 8 weeks. On Monday I go see my diabetes Doc and inform him what I did. That is going to be interesting as it will be a 50/50% chance on his reaction of me taking myself off of the Janumet since January 1/2024 & without his permission. What I can tell you is that I have been watching my blood sugar daily fasting numbers settle into the low 5's for about the last 3 weeks or so. I think the lowest I went was 4.9 mmol/L. But it looks like I will have to wait another 3 months to find out what my cholesterol numbers are which means another 3 months of Carnivore ;)
The question is though, do I still consider myself a T2D? Most definitely Yes. I will always be a T2D. As soon as I add in more carbs (lets say to push it to 50 grams carbs daily) I know my blood sugars are going to skyrocket and then more inflammation will occur and start this cycle all over again.
Can I maintain this lifestyle forever? That I'm not sure. I am in a constant battle with my emotional/mental state trying to sideline my progress. That becomes tiring.
But on a positive note, I used to wear size 22 jeans when I started this journey. I can now fit into my size 16 jeans that I held on to for 10 years in hopes that I would be able to wear them once again. I can and they are not tight either. I have a pair of size 14 jeans that have been sitting in my closet for probably 15 years with the tags still attached. I know I'm not ready for them because of my waistline but I'll bet ya I could probably get them on my legs. All in good time.
