Hello, how long did it take you to see your numbers change for the better? I'm type 2, and tried keto for 3 weeks and didn't see a change. I gave up n went back to meds. Now, im trying again, but yet again I'm not seeing any change.

@@BPb123 Immediate results for blood glucose when the carbs got cut. Why not try a couple of days just eating meat/ eggs etc and see what the blood glucose is doing. When you said you didnt "see" a change were you actually testing your blood?-- The actual A1C number occurred 9 months after starting keto as that was the first blood draw

@@BPb123 I saw a difference in 3 weeks. When I was diagnosed, I was at blood glucose of 335 and A1c of 12.6. They put me on three meds. Alogliptin, Metformin and another I can't remember. I did not set out to do a Keto diet. I have bought nothing specifically for that diet. I just stopped eating carbs and sugar. At least I stayed in a range that was around 20 - 30 carbs (carbs minus fiber plus sugar) a day, you can't completely get rid of them. Within 3 weeks I was off the Metformin and the other drug. Still on Alogliptin. I lost 27 lbs before I was diagnosed and have lost another 23 pounds since. Blood pressure has dropped a lot. My glucose is in the normal range and stays there. I go back for my first A1c test next week. I'm also interested in what my cholesterol is doing. I did count the calories also. No one is really active these days, if you are quarantined, so stayed between 1200 - 1500 calories a day (I'm around 5 foot in height so reasonable for me). I used salads as a food to stave off the hunger if it popped up, ate those a lot. The thing I can say is everyone is different. Perhaps 3 weeks was not enough time for your body to adjust. I'd give it another shot checking your glucose regularly. If I add a 'new' food, I check at 30, 60 and 90 minutes to see how that food affects me. There a couple I've taken off my list (fruit mainly).

agogediet is amazing, i had great results with it

The most important part to losing weight is diet of course, the hardest part is staying consistent

Perhaps consider asking the doctor for a referral to a dietitian.

@@johngrey1074 I did and they (2 of them) were opposed to anything resembling low carb. Four slices of bread three times a day was recommended (15 g x 4 x 3). I then contacted another dietician, and she was also opposed to low carb diets. I am just trying to inform myself as best I can since my doctor too is against low carb diets, intermittent fasting etc. I am taking jardiance now but since I'm on a low carb diet, I can't see how it can be effective. In any case, I have learned to inform myself as much as possible. It seems that the 'health system' cannot help me.

If you want to lose fat, I suggest the *Agoge diet*. I lost lots of fat and felt great all the way.

You do not need carbohydrates. Your body can run off fat and your own fat
