#lowcarbhighfat Week three of my low carb lifestyle change

This is my third week of changing my entire way of eating and living with Type 1 Diabetes. I am following Dr. Bernstein's way of controlling Diabetes.  No grains, no startch, no real sugar, no fruit and only 30 carbs a day 6-12-12 and I actually am eating less than that someday.

It has been a difficult task to overcome carb addiction.  I am still craving crappy ole fast acting sugar and grain loaded carbs.  I have even given in a couple times since starting. 

One week on low carb

It has been one week today that I started eating low carb, healthy fat lifestyle.  I can't lie it a TON of work and a really huge pain in the rear end but COMPLETELY worth it and COMPLETELY worth not having any ANY blood sugar spikes and hopefully I will get my A1C down to 5 or 6 like all the die hard LCHF Diabetics and by doing that almost eliminate the risk of all ALL Diabetic complications.  I have now set my high alert to 130 and low still at 90 on my Dexcom.  That is a very very very thin gap compared to where I was at 2 weeks ago.  

My Dexcom graph/info so far on LCHF lifestyle choice.

Before Low Carb High Fat = just doggie doo doo readings the week before.  Average CGM reading 165, not good. Average carbs per day 189, holy cow!




This week so far since Monday April  27th.  Average CGM reading 132.  Its getting better, still figuring out how to bolus for protein and fat instead of carbs.  Average carbs per day 32!
