Okay, so I know most here on the forum have lost weight with the LC/HF WOE, but exactly how long did it take you? Not that I'm looking for miracle weight loss here (I consider myself pretty lucky that I have managed NOT to gain a bunch of weight with the insulin), however, I sometimes (a lot of time actually) feel rather discouraged because I still have difficulty sometimes controlling my bg's and I've really given up all of the "bad" carbs, and really watch the "good" carbs I eat so that I'm eating as little of them that I can. I feel like I still have a "wheat belly" even though I'm eating very healthy, watching my intake, and my protein/carb/fat ratio. And right now, even though my bg shortly more than an hour after dinner was 113, my stomach is making the most horrendous noises! I have also noticed that when I kind of give in and eat a carby item (that I wouldn't normally choose), my bg's might be better than if I hadn't eaten it? Does that make sense? For instance, I ate a blueberry bagel with full fat cream cheese for breakfast yesterday morning, went directly outside and worked for about 3-1/2 hours in the yard, and came in to eat some lunch, checked my bg and it was 79! Wow! I chose not to take any insulin, had a low carb multi-grain wrap with guacamole, chicken breast lunch meat, and american cheese. Checked my bg two hours later...129! Not too bad without any insulin! But yet I can not eat anything carby, go to bed with a great number, and wake up with a 266! WTH? No rhyme or reason sometimes. Can anyone explain this to me? It sometimes makes it really difficult to manage.
