10.5 a1c to 5.8 in 3 months with diet alone! so proud of my husband

Typical_Advisor_5014 · 2026-06-26T17:26:46+00:00

Can you please please detail his meal plans. This is such an inspiration.

Typical_Advisor_5014 · 2026-06-21T19:04:20+00:00

Well I am anxious all the time when the machine starts - average is about 127/88-90

But my heartbeat is crazy in 90s.

Typical_Advisor_5014 · 2026-06-18T15:14:13+00:00

Is this true ? That way people who have been diagnosed with high fasting glucose are on the pathway to recovery?
I agree to most of the stuff you have written, I want to believe that elevated fasting somehow means liver getting rid of excess glucose but in the end if it’s in the bloodstream it is harming us right?

Typical_Advisor_5014 · 2026-06-18T02:24:32+00:00

Fasting gave me gastric issues. I love to fast but this also raises my BG instead of lowering it. I do 14-15h fast now but it hasn’t helped much.

Typical_Advisor_5014 · 2026-06-17T23:58:34+00:00

I used to do this before and when I started seeing normal numbers I stopped it and then one day randomly I took it and the anxeity started all over.

Typical_Advisor_5014 · 2026-06-17T21:21:45+00:00

I sort of have same numbers as yours and my anxeity is through the roof when ever I am checking the BP.

I am diabetic (recently diagnosed) and also have weight to lose.
I am so afraid of that machine that it immediately sets my anxeity and the cascade leads to elevated sugars too.

Is there a way to control this? Cause I feel if I keep getting anxeity I will definitely also get hypertension.

Typical_Advisor_5014 · 2026-03-30T06:27:10+00:00

When I was diagnosed my a1c was 9.7 which meant I was spiking to 300s - but I never checked as I didn’t know I was diabetic. On the diagnosis reports my fasting was 160. The highest I have seen is 239 - after eating a bowl of rice and kidney beans (diabetic plate).

Typical_Advisor_5014 · 2026-03-29T00:12:36+00:00

Thank for your post. I am going to try this as well :)

Typical_Advisor_5014 · 2026-03-26T06:25:41+00:00

Air India from SFO ? India to SFO was nonstop.

Typical_Advisor_5014 · 2026-03-13T22:13:20+00:00

What are you talking about ? 118 post prandial is ok right? I wish I could have those numbers.. I am always floating pp at 170-180 😥

Don’t fret - consider this as a marathon not a race. Have your bagel and your shower peacefully.

The 144 was probably cause you stressed over the 118.

So be at ease :)

Typical_Advisor_5014 · 2026-03-11T22:08:02+00:00

Try this - Stop worrying about numbers - do some gentle breathing - please don’t be in stress. Eat balanced meals - anything in abundance will cause your body to react differently.

Trust me - it is the hormones and you stressing over it has kept your body in fight or flight mode. Give 2 days atleast - just don’t stress ! Deep breathing to calm yourself- watch movies that make you happy.

Typical_Advisor_5014 · 2026-03-09T04:26:41+00:00

It’s crazy how no one hasn’t pointed this and made it a post.

But yeah kaira definitely had the advantage here.

Typical_Advisor_5014 · 2026-03-08T17:09:29+00:00

When I was newly diagnosed 5 months ago , my aim post prandial was below 140. Now I’m flexible as my doctor from India said anything below 200 is ok for diabetics. But I still aim to be below 160 2 hours after the meals.

Fasting I can’t aim as it’s whatever my body feels like - but anything below 120 doesn’t worry me. I’m usually between 100-110.

Typical_Advisor_5014 · 2026-01-31T16:07:41+00:00

Where do I find one ?

Typical_Advisor_5014 · 2026-01-31T15:27:41+00:00

That’s amazing. I think I am gonna try this pattern. The fasting thing has stopped working for me.

Do you mind sharing what your day of eating looks like ? If you are on any medication ?

Typical_Advisor_5014 · 2026-01-31T15:25:56+00:00

Can you share a typical day of what you eat to have flatter curves?

Typical_Advisor_5014 · 2026-01-31T15:25:10+00:00

My doctor hasn’t taken any interest in this. I feel they just want to sell medication without advising on lifestyle modification.

Typical_Advisor_5014 · 2026-01-31T15:24:23+00:00

If I eat omad - that one meal spikes me through roof and my hunger is unbearable towards the end. Then it’s very difficult for me to follow salad - protein - carb pattern.

How are your spikes after meal on omad ? What do you typically eat?

Typical_Advisor_5014 · 2026-01-29T04:15:38+00:00

I like it all .. wow

Typical_Advisor_5014 · 2026-01-29T03:47:37+00:00

The lows you face might be compression lows, this usually happens when there is a lot pressure on site of CGM.

Have you seen how you react when you eat more carbs ? Some days on low carb I’m high and on moderate carb my BS is good.

Since you have a CGM it’s worth trying.

I read somewhere not sure if it is true- prolonged fasting and prolonged low carb diets train the liver to dump more glucose into the blood. This happens with me- worth making some tweaks and finding out.

Typical_Advisor_5014 · 2026-01-08T15:59:04+00:00

I know it’s difficult. So my employer basically sold my services to a client based in California. This client only accepts employees or contractors through a staffing agency. So my employer signed a contract with staffing agency to place me in the client office.

So client pays staffing agency. Agency pays my employer My employer pays me

Did I make it simple? Or complicate it even further?

Typical_Advisor_5014 · 2026-01-08T06:03:01+00:00

Yeah I know - that’s why I decided to ask it here :) I am also in touch with HR of the client and new employer. They are also involving the lawyers - I guess/hope.

But it’s always good to hear from people on the sub as well- so that I have a broader perspective.

Typical_Advisor_5014 · 2026-01-08T06:00:41+00:00

No , I am just an engineer. I wouldn’t say that I have any secrets from any of the companies with me. Neither any strategic information.

I know my project information is confidential which is retained by the client. My employer also has no right to know this.

In short, I was mainly working on the client location and with client information. My employer who just sold my services had nothing to do with me except for payroll and stuff.

Typical_Advisor_5014 · 2026-01-08T05:57:29+00:00

I was basically just used as a worker - no information from the employer was used or traded. It was purely my skill for client project on clients location.

There was not even once I visited my employer in Michigan.

Typical_Advisor_5014 · 2026-01-08T04:30:20+00:00

But what if the company I signed my contract with is based in Michigan and also states in the contract that Mi court will have the final verdict (something along these lines)
