"Hi Blue Parrot!
I'm one of those folks who don't believe that progression to insulin is inevitabe. I'm married [41years] to a lifetime T1 and have seen the sting in the tail that insulin has. It's far from being an easy solution,…"
Christopher replied to BlueParrot's discussion 'New to this ...' in the group Dr. Bernstein Diabetes Solution Group"You can expect to reach completely normal levels. However, like some others have suggested, I would consider getting on insulin as quickly as possible, and once you get in normal ranges, start fine tuning accordingly."
Christopher Angell replied to BlueParrot's discussion 'New to this ...' in the group Dr. Bernstein Diabetes Solution Group"I would definitely echo Sheila's suggestion. If you were never tested for c-peptide/GAD65, but were diagnosed solely based on age/high blood sugar, you could be one of many, many people (including me) who was initially misdiagnosed. There is…"
"Blueparrot By using Dr. B's eating plan, you can expect to hit NORMAL blood glucose [5mmol/l 90mg/dl] It may take a week or two to get there, but it's perfectly possible. You can also avoid "progression" to insulin. The think…"
Brian (bsc) replied to BlueParrot's discussion 'New to this ...' in the group Dr. Bernstein Diabetes Solution Group"Welcome. Like others here, I have greatly benefited from a low carb diet. But I also decided that Dr. B's recommendation to "normalize" blood sugars also made sense. I wasn't going to be happy with the A1c of 7% my doctors…"
onesaint replied to BlueParrot's discussion 'New to this ...' in the group Dr. Bernstein Diabetes Solution Group"Agreed. Changes (when possible) should always come one at a time in order to most accurately gauge the effects. Stay steady on your course, you're doing good."
BlueParrot replied to BlueParrot's discussion 'New to this ...' in the group Dr. Bernstein Diabetes Solution Group"Hey Onesaint, thanks for teh welome, encoragement and helpful information. I want to give this at least 2-3 months to see where I go in terms of my BG. I want to take the data to my Dr after I have my next A1C, see where to from here in terms of…"
BlueParrot replied to BlueParrot's discussion 'New to this ...' in the group Dr. Bernstein Diabetes Solution Group"Thank you Sheila, I do have Irish ancestry. My mother, 3 sisters and 2 brothers all have late onset diabetes T-2 - all are thin as rakes - so I don't think this is "lifestyle related". I will ask my Doc to test for LADA. Thanks for…"
Sheila Fitz replied to BlueParrot's discussion 'New to this ...' in the group Dr. Bernstein Diabetes Solution Group"I became a LADA(Latent Autoimmune Diabetes of the Adult) at 56yo, a Type 1. I was clued into Dr. Bernstein by a PWD who was a nurse. I have followed his plan religiously for three years now. My A1c is 5.1 without insulin, meaning the low carb regime…"
onesaint replied to BlueParrot's discussion 'New to this ...' in the group Dr. Bernstein Diabetes Solution Group"Welcome to the forums!
At 180, I'd say insulin is called for. Even on a Dr. B diet, the glucose will be extracted from your protein / fat intake, but it will still show up and put your BGs in the 140s+. Hitting 270s means your pancreas just…"

New to this ...
Hi everyone, I'm new here. First, a little background - 51 years, T-2 for 6 years. Initially on Metformin - but it didn't seem to have much effect. My Dr took me off it and recommended instead that I try just diet and exercise (said I'd eventually need insulin anyway).I was also Sent to a dietician who gave me an eating plan (I might say this was the "standard" high carb diet - here in Australia endorsed by Diabetes Australia - the equivalent of the ADA). Nothing worked, stuck to the diet,…See More
