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.
