8 days into preop liquid protein fast and low bs
Before the preop fast began, my meds for diabetes were as follows...Longacting Insulin 46 u am & pm (92 u total) Shortacting 20u per meal (60 u total) Metformin 2000mg, Januvia 100mg
amaryl 8 mg.
Today, I have not used any insulin, stopped my amaryl and my fasting blood sugar was 75 this am! CRAZY!!! Normal morning blood sugar with all meds on board typically was 170 or higher.
The highest blood sugar today was 150.
It is pretty obvious that carbs and my body do not mix well. I have cut my blood pressure med in half also.
I am happy but cautious and wondering what will happen when I begin eating a few carbs again. I have to say it is a wonderful beginning and I am feeling healthier already.
God is Good and I am Thankful!

Yup - I firmly believe that most type 2s can nconrol their diabetes VERY well with simply a strict low-carb diet. Unfortunately, the informatio handed out by CDEs allows for way more carbs than the typical type 2 body can handle successfully without progression of the condition.
I hear you. I went to an endocrinologist and his best (and only) solution was South Beach.
I have done Atkins in the past and lost weight. The problem for me was that it was very difficult to stay on for any length of time. With the RNY, the way you are supposed to eat, protein/veggies/fruit...actually is South Beach pretty much but with a much smaller tummy to fill!
Whenever, I spoke to the diabetic counselors, they would tell me to eat all these carbs and
I was like "if I eat all those, my sugars will surge and I will gain weight bigtime" and they would just look at me. Living it is different than reading what is supposed to happen from theory in a book.
