    Hi Kim, thanks for your reply.

    My mom hasn’t had her A1C checked, because she didn’t want her doctors knowing she was doing something else. Her doctor just keeps on pushing for more medication, which I don’t want her taking, she’s already on a pretty high dose of insulin, and they were thinking of adding another medication.

    That’s the main reason I want my mom on the protocol for overall health, I know it’s helped me for sure, it’s gotten rid of most of my eczema and I have more energy overall.

    When my mom is Niacin, her Blood Sugar goes up quite a bit. She’s doing daily finger pokes, and before taking niacin, her blood sugar would be around 6-8 (not sure of the measurements used), but when taking niacin it’s between 12 to 15.

    I’m trying to get her to restrict her diet more, but she’s not a big fan of eating meats, she tells me it doesn’t taste good and likes carbs, which I definitely want her to stop. I wanted her to try intermittent fasting, to lower her blood sugars before trying niacin again.

    I’ll need to read up on the Keto diet, I know it’s helped quite a few people with T2D.

    If you or anyone has suggestions, I’d appreciate it.

    Thank you!
