Default BG improvements, over time

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.
