[QUOTE="dnfuss, post: 96358, member: 15487"] CSI007, Congratulations on your good results. I am hopeful that you will continue to see improvement. Stick to your plan of low-carb eating. Eat plenty of protein and don't be afraid of the fat that accompanies it. Enjoy lots of low-carb vegetables: some of my favorites are salads with oil and vinegar or other low-carb dressing, cauliflower mashed up like potato with butter and sour cream, yellow squash and onions slow-sauteed in olive oil, cole slaw with home-made mayonnaise, home-made sauerkraut, and broccoli with real butter and salt. Try to cheat only in a conscious way ([I]i.e.[/I], avoid carb-creep). Keep up with your exercise and of course continue on metformin, increasing it if necessary up to the maximum prescribed dose after consultation with your physician. If you give it time, as with TRT, I think you will be pleased and have a very good chance of achieving normal blood sugars. Afraid we will have to agree to disagree about post-meal blood sugar spikes. My view, shared by a great percentage of the scholars and clinicians who have reviewed data regarding continuous serum glucose monitoring of euglycemic and euinsulinemic populations, continues to be that post-prandial serum glucose levels in those with truly normal blood sugars are almost always below 120 mg/dl and never above 140 mg/dl -- no matter what they eat. Those clinicians would generally consider a regular post-prandial blood glucose of 160 mg/dl to be consistent with pre-diabetes. [/QUOTE]
