Did you measure 1 hour after wake up? At wakeup there's the "dawn effect" where glucose rises/ketones fall.
What diet did you really try? Keto diet is known to ~easily fix T2D. A good company that can do that is virtahealth.com.
The only way to quit drugs (sugar) is to no take drugs at all, not take less drugs.
Source: I do keto diet but for other reasons. I was addicted to carbs, but not fat, and am no more. I would end up as T2D in 10-20 years though. If I restart carbs I will get addicted again.
- djur 2y agoYour own personal experience is not a "source" for what is easy, hard, possible or impossible for other people.
- ddorian43 2y agoAbout what? Yes, I know quitting drugs is impossible for many people. When you have serious issues, you need a serious professional.
- djur 2y agoA professional such as a doctor, who prescribes a medication that helps address the issue?
- ddorian43 2y agoA substance abuse doctor & therapist.
- djur 2y agoWhy is your preferred set of professionals better than another? Do you have research showing that treating obesity as a substance abuse disorder has positive outcomes?
- ddorian43 2y agoNobody pays for research with no meds. Its not simple obesity. Many obese have eating disorders. For permanent adherence, only quitting works.
- UI_at_80x24 2y agoYes, it was measured first thing, and yes it was the 'Dawn Effect'. Within 4 hours it would fall into the 'safe-zone'. At that time my diet was 100% protein/fat, 0 carbs. I assumed (and Doctor shruggingly agreed) that it was probably my body fat being metabolized and raising my blood sugar.
- ddorian43 2y agoIt's probably the protein. Not eating fat should also feel horrible too, messing hormones etc. Source: Pretty well known in keto epilepsy/cancer/psychiatry. I do epilepsy keto diet. Having high protein will increase glucose & lower ketones (tested blood many times with just 2 ingridients beef & beef fat). I aim for 80%-90% of calories from fat. Or 2 to 1 weight ratio of fat and protein/carbs. For T2D you probably need just 60% fat calories though.
