I'm 185 cm high and weigh 83.2 kg. Had high blood sugar , now 8.2. I cut out a meal, maybe caused the drop ¿

Yes, he is a kidney doctor (by profession) and is an advocate for Intermediate Fasting and has developed quite the plan - with a couple of good books out as well

His "method" is to drive weight loss (as is KETO by design)

Weight is so under-rated and such a "hands off topic" for discussion, but the bottom line is, nobody that is overweight achieves remission

And there is zillion other health benefits to being normal weight, primarily reduction in cardiovascular risk and lower cancer risk which particularly matters as we get older (if we want to live)

The bottom line is you can "feel good about yourself at any weight" or you can live healthier and extend your life (from all causes) and "drastically" improve your level of control with diabetes IF one can get down to normal weight

You don't get both

I'm feeling good thanks. Was snacking on nuts. Maybe that could be the cause. I was doing a stick test. Dr. Fung gets people off type 2 diabetes. He's on utube

Are you doing a urine or stick test to measure keytones

If it's a urine test 14.5 is fine, if it's blood then it's "slightly high" (unless you are testing in mmols in which case you could be in full blown DKA (but typically it would be coupled with a blood glucose north of 22) and you would feel like crap - vomiting and headache, lethargic etc)

Are you otherwise feeling ok?
