    Steve,

    It is difficult to know which carbs to select balancing glucose considerations. Lentils work well for me, with minimally glucose spike. Rice is a complete disaster for me, my glucose spikes in the outer atmosphere. Also green carbs are helpful.

    All the best.

    Steve,

    I apologize about the carbs, I should have said to eat high fiber carbs…ie lentils or Japanese sweet potatoes. It is a tricky situation with a diabetic individual.

    Steve,

    What about fish? I eat a lot of fish…sardines, cod liver (very mild), shrimp, salmon (wild caught) and oysters. I have the fish with broccoli and mushrooms .

    Hope you have some success.

    Hi Steve,

    If I may ask where in Canada, I was born in Ontario province (Windsor).

    I was not diabetic before the protocol.

    I did notice that without the R lipoic the glucose will rise.

    I’m currently using a Continuous Glucose Monitor, from NutriSense, to monitor which foods trigger a glucose spike for me. It is quite shocking to see what the different foods while do to your pancreas.

    I know getting a Continuous Glucose Monitor in Canada is difficult,

    Hi Steve,

    I have been on Dmitry’s protocol for a year now. Generally I eat keto…I just had my A1C checked this week (I’m in the U. S.) not sure how the numbers translate to other countries..

    A1C….4.8

    Insulin..1.9

    All accomplished on 3 grams of Niacin

    3 grams of Leucine

    300 mg. of R lipoic

    And all the cofactors with all the Bs

    Hope this helps…

    Hi Steve,

    I’m glad to hear you are doing ok with glucose and Niacin. Has your mother tried to eliminate rice, pasta, bread, potatoes? I know it is difficult, but I saw an immediate drop in my glucose.

    Also the R Lipoic Acid helps with glucose.

    All the best
