Lowering blood sugar

Posted by ibchispas @ibchispas, Jan 7 9:42am

I have bad reactions to statins in particular that have caused two severe bouts of pancreatitus. Therefore, I need to stay away from any meds that may even potentially cause pancreatitus. My blood sugar runs high so I'm fresh out of ideas to lower my blood glucose. I'm sugar and mostly carb free and have adopted a keto diet to lose weight but my glucose runs between 110 - 140 after fasting for 14 hours using Keto-mojo meter with ketone and glucose strips.
I would appreciate any suggestions as I'm short of ideas...thanks.

@ibchispas Good for you for digging in and getting past these 'comfort zones'. My recollection is that you may have to run several long fasting sessions, with a sensible, safe, break in between, and then you'll possibly, hopefully, begin to see a tweaking of those numbers. I don't recall reading or watching a video where one of the gurus said he reversed his pre-diabetes in a single 48 hr fast. I seem to remember it taking several weeks until the white flag went up.

I'm not looking forward to the fast(s) but even if there's only a slight chance at helping to get my pancreas to start working normal again, I'm in. Thanks for the feedback.
