Santosh Bhandarkar is a Type 2 diabetic diagnosed at the age of 31 in the year 2015, and he posted his intro thread on the forum on 20th April, 2016. A few snippets from his intro thread:
I am new here. At last, stumbled upon an Indian forum for Diabetes! I am glad to be here.
This is a long post, kindly bear with me.
Well, by profession, I am an IT Manager.
I am 32 years old, male, my height is 5′ 10″, I weigh 90 Kilos and my BMI is 28.4.
A year before I was tested positive for D Type 2.
My father had Type 2 diabetes and the consulting doctor suspected that, I might have acquired D-2 so early through heredity.
He goes on to say:
I have started following the LCHF diet regimen 3 weeks before and I am seeing great results.
I have lost 5 kilos in 3 weeks after I started following LCHF. I was on Zoryl M3 Forte (Glimepiride 3mg Metformin 1g) before breakfast and Voglibose 0.3 once after Lunch and another after dinner, before LCHF.My morning sugar counts were avg. 140 mg/dL and post-dinner counts were avg. 180 mg/dL before a couple of months although, I was on meds. I know, I am still overweight and need to work out more to reduce extra pounds however, time doesn’t permit to do that due to work pressure and assignments, etc. I walk a Km per day after Lunch and Dinner though.
I am completely off the meds for last 3 weeks, I test my BG 3 times a day and they are as follows
Fasting: avg. 115 mg/dL
Evening: avg. 105 mg/dL
Post Dinner: avg 120 mg/dL
My aim is to bring down BG counts within 100 mg/dL.….
….
BTW, doctors are not Gods and if at all that’s true, I am an Atheist.
I wish, if and only if, the doctor I had consulted for Diabetic treatment had advised me to follow LCHF diet from the beginning .
Instead of giving productive advise, doctors tend to stick to age old habit of advising reduce this, reduce that and keep your BG count within 180 mg/dL blah blah blah…
Snippet from his testimonial thread:
Just by following LCHF way of eating, I lost more than 20 Kgs, lost around 4″ from my waist and I could achieve A1c of 5.6. Bonus part – no meds or doctor visits in almost two years.
