Hi Matt thank you for taking the time to help.
I am not doing keto. I don't know why my A1c was not measured at my last blood test I must have over looked it. My next bloods are 5 months away.
When I started the battle with my A1c back in 2016 I changed my diet completely from fast foods and highly processed foods to simple foods and started back at the gym EOD. Workouts are about 2 hours long. Nothing too intense(heavy) I am old(64) but I workout for a good pump.
For protein I eat steak 4-8 oz, 12oz chicken breast, 3 egg whites 1 yoke daily. All my carbs come from daily salads mostly spinash, tomato, carrots, celery, cucumber. Dressing is olive oil and apple cyder vinegar. I eat one piece of whole wheat bread which I put my 4g of omega 3 fish oil on. Fats are almonds hand full, avacado 1/2 to 1, pistachios hand full and olive oil(everything is cooked in oilive oil. Sugars, I eat one pink grapefruit breakfast and a hand full of blueberries, one pear at lunch.
Your tips on when and how often to check my glucose is exactly what I was looking for.
