I just don't like it that much, so I don't bother making it anymore. (Just saying that so no one thinks I stopped because I think it's not appropriate for low carb.) <br /><br />Sounds like you're doing really well with managing/reversing your diabetes. Dr. Jason Fung's book, The Diabetes Code, is coming out soon. Highly recommended! Loads of important information & education in there. <br /><br />And thanks for your service! :)Tuit Nutritionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15708859914305178756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4833628955058077617.post-68678029300819861082018-04-01T03:09:12.986-04:002018-04-01T03:09:12.986-04:00Amy... Just wanted to let you know I'm up way...Amy... Just wanted to let you know I'm up way past my bed time, because I came across your blog, and just keep finding more and more I want to read. I was diagnosed type 2 diabetic last October, but was determined to beat it through diet and exercise. I gained quite a bit of weight after retiring from the military, due to becoming much more sedentary and letting my SAD go wild. So when I got my diabetes diagnosis, along with high cholesterol, I went on my own version of a low carb diet by cutting out all starches, pastas, breads, etc... Then further restricted to no sugar or processed carbs. So far so good. Down over 30 lbs and A1C dropped to from 7.2 to 6. Doctor still wanted me to start on metformin, but I refused. Then just after Christmas I found out about Keto. I've been very strict with it and realized from a few of your posts that I'm probably too strict. My weight loss has slowed, probably due to thinking I needed to add a lot of fat. I feel great, but I think I'd do better lowering my fat and adding more veggies. I hit my macro for protein and usually get a little extra, so no problem there. I may try some intermittent fasting next. Anyway, I'll quit rambling and just tell you how thrilled I am to find your blog, and happy to know you make your own Kombucha too. That was something I recently started doing. I use half inulin and half sugar as my scoby food. I found a study that used inulin instead of sugar, and it resulted in a final product with much lower sugar residuals, which is important to me. If you are interested in looking at the study, it is here: http://www.rombio.eu/Archive/2002/nr1/art6.doc Thanks for the great blog and all the work you've done. It's nice to see another military lady doing well for herself. I was in Iraq 2006-2008, at Camp Victory, so I can relate to your food situation over there....
