Non scale victory today. Just got back from the Drs and found out my fasting insulin level was 4! In Australia I think under 9 is supposed to be normal. So essentially I am no longer diabetic. Before I started Keto almost 2 years ago at the highest my fasting as 87 and I was extremely sick.
I think I shocked the Dr a bit too. She was not my usual (low carb) Dr and was a bit green. She had never seen anyone reverse diabetes before. I told her this was the second time I had reversed it (before my recent pregnancy and the insulin resistance that comes with it), along with PCOS, sleep apnea, an autoimmune thyroid disease and osteoarthritis pain to name a few things that have reversed since starting.
She walked away from the conversation with resources to look up and low carb community Drs names etc, about Dr Kraft’s insulin assay and Ivor Cummins’ and Dave Feldman about cholesterol info (she initally had freaked out about mine). She said she felt like she learnt more from me than I did from her and that she had would go away and do some research.
Will be continuing to KCKO because it works!
