Keep fighting the Fight, Barry! I’ve got a Glucose Meter too, and I hate using it. Probably bcuz I’m lazy. I only use it maybe 5x a month. My numbers pretty much stay within the 125-168 range. The only thing I’ve really learned from the Meter is that my numbers are always highest in the morning, when I wake up. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Now that’s Summer’s here, I’m getting back on my e-bike. If you don’t have one, GET one! Even riding for just a few minutes a day will make a Positive difference! 🤙🏼

All right Barry way to go. That person was right that he did read a hatchet job in USA Today about keto and insulin resistance, it was complete BS.

Great job, Barry! You are doing awesome. Keep it going.

good on you mate you got this low carb is the way to go

Good wishes. At the same time, why you were waiting for this to happen and forget your plans to do things ‘slowly‘! Start today!

I was on WW but switched to Healthiapp to follow the keto/low carb plan. Glad you are getting better everyday

sir, sounds like you are on the right track. i suggest complementing your low carb diet with a form of exercise that makes you feel good. for me it's swimming. not the vigorous competitive kind. i found this combination works well.

I brought a 269 fasting glucose level down to almost normal levels in 2 weeks by : 1. Delay bfast until 11am,or, noon...take berberine...eat 1 jumbo egg omelette with cheese and bacon bits inside plus 2 small sausage patties and coffee with 0 carb sweetener and lightener. No snacking,or, in between meal food. 2. Finish dinner before 6 or 7pm eating palm sized portion of meat, then BIG salad of romaine and spinach leaves, colored bell peppers, e.v. olive oil and low carb balsamic vinegar. 3. WALK within 10 mins of last bite to immediately knock down any spike from food !!...it works !! I knocked one spike down from 160 after stupidly eating a dessert to 95 with a 1.5 mile brisk walk !! Minimum 1.5 mile walk does magic in lowering post meal sugar rise !! 4. Get at least 8 full hours of sleep, where body can lower the glucose for hours before it rises to wake you up. 5. Eliminate all stress....it is PROVEN that stress ALONE can CAUSE diabetes from constant cortisol and insulin being in the blood, where the body then can only STORE fat, instead of burning it ...causing fatty liver and damage to the B cells in the pancreas that produce insulin. The also ARE studies showing that a significant number of people have developed diabetes from being exposed to the COVID virus !! The virus damages the immune system and the pancreas is damaged as a result, lessening insulin production. Pay attention to the news of a possible CURE for diabetes coming from a study in humans from CHINA, where 100% of test subjects were CURED by injections of a certain peptide enzyme. Use a constant glucose monitor to observe the changing levels and to see what works in lowering glucose spikes...like SEX.... I can PROVE IT with the data on my cell phone program !! If retired, an Advantage Plan may cover all the expense.

You can get a meter that you have 24/7 on your arm! It takes a few months to get your condition straightened out and at least 50 pounds down and you’ll be fine! No alcohol though ‘ keep it up 👍 😅❤

Cutting out the carbs, time restrictive eating and walks , 6:30 walks , walks at least 150000 steps every day . You be fine in one month.

Make sure to take some pro-biotics Barry. If you've went to the can that often you're in need of them for your gut health. I hope that you continue to do better. My wife buys frozen veggies & skillet roasts them. She throws on a little seasoning for flavor. They work great as a side dish to chicken & beef. A small baked potato isn't to high in carbs either. You can also bake them in your over at 400F. after slicing them into wedges. Gordon's Beer battered fish works good for a low-carb sandwich on the Keto bread. But I wouldn't add potatoes as a side on the dinner. But the roasted veggies work great with that. I hope that you found this info helpful. Take good care, and keep getting better brother. Peace.. Joe
