Lowering blood sugar

@ibchispas , what is your A1c? Have you been diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes? Have your doctors commented on the BS numbers? What are your goals regarding blood sugar levels?

While I tend to eat low carb, I’ve never been too impressed with keto…..I’m type 1 so rely on insulin regardless of carbs. I focus on healthy fats. If you’re eating low carb, walking and still seeing numbers you feel are too high, I’d discuss it with your doctor and a nutritionist with Endocrinologist office.

I don’t have heart disease, but I still take a statin, exercise, maintain good weight, use insulin pump, maintain good blood pressure and still conduct myself as if I have had a heart attack as a preventative measure.

@celia16 I've been pre-diabetic for about 10 years according to my docs. My A1C has never exceeded 6.0 and my docs didn't seem to be concerned but I don't like being told I'm pre-diabetic because my blood sugar is always above 100 and nothing seems to bring it down. I'm going to try the 3-4 day fast to see if my insulin resistance will reset and then maintain a low carb diet and see what happens with my blood sugar.
