...and raise LDL and Triglycerides.
My fasting blood sugar was approaching 100. My doc told me "Blood glucose is the rumble strip of life. You either wake up and manage it now or you will die young."
My fasting Bg was 145 and I’d go up to 190 after meals.
It’s now a fasting of 90-100 and 100-115 after meals.
I think I’ve finally learned that this is not a problem that I can make go away forever. I’m only going to stay well if I keep up the LC diet. I can’t get it under control, then eat whatever I want for months on end and expect to stay healthy.
It only took ten years to get past that denial.
