Yesterday glucose down to 88. I’m almost down to 160, my first short term goal, will need to get to 153 for BMI to be overweight rather than obese.
Yesterday was the first day I got really hungry.I suppose this is what a low carb diet feels like to someone with normal glucose values.

Started last Thursday and down 5 pounds and 3/4 inch off the waist. I didn’t expect that much as I was doing intermittent fasting a couple days a week. Most significant is my fasting blood sugar has gone from 110 to 92. I saw my Doctor yesterday and thankfully he is on board, saying people wouldn’t need Bari artic surgery if they would just go on the diet. I’ve found nice crunchy pickles helpful for those late night cravings.

I put my measuring tape next to the scale. God help anyone that moves it!
I’d like to join you, I started 9 / 29. I have been taking Metforum about 8 months, would like to stop. I had a heart attack 2 1/2 years ago and my fasting has been a bit above normal ever since,I suspect made worse by the statin drugs, as it went up to 148. I was doing well yesterday until husband decided he wanted to have cereal before bed. I went upstairs rather quickly. He was apologetic about it and said he knows he needs to”cut back” too. Hope he joins me soon, he really needs to lose about 50 pounds

Starting today. Nice to other”mature” women having success. I ‘m 62 and don’t want another heart attack or slowly die of diabetes. I’m a nurse and have seen what can happen. Wish me luck!
