Hey folks,

Curious how your improvements in FBGs went over time with low carb. Also , relate weight loss and daily carbs maybe?

I've been doing low carb since November, 2 weeks of <100 then a month of <30, the laser two weeks I experimented with 25-30 per meal just to see how my BG responses were, but now going back to lower again. Also, 5 minutes ago a copy of Dr. Bernstein's diabetes solution just arrived at my door :)

So, very curious as to once other ppl went vlc, how long it took for each 'drop' in BG levels. I've talked to some on other forums where they had a lot of weight to lose and one guy took a year to lose enough, then completely reversed his,.... FBG 80's and perfect post prandial BGs.

Thanks!

Mine will typically be 105 to 115 when I'm not doing lc. Then, when I start back, after a week, I will test under 100 about half of the time. Then I quit testing, usually, and just try to eat right.

My usual goal is about 20 g./day

Cool, what was your starting bg and how long till you hit to that level originally?

When I first started LCing, my BG was low within a week. I quit taking the meds but still checked my sugar.
