    I’m glad to hear its under control. Are you monitoring your fasting insulin levels? Getting your insulin levels down is probably the single best thing you can do for cardiovascular health.

      Hba1c blood test every once in a while, blood sugar tests if I feel weird or curious. My blood was syrup when I first went in, untreated for years except accidentally trying low carb diets

        Oh, thats quite a accident!

        May I suggest getting fasting insulin checked as well? from my reading of the literature, it’s the single biggest lever in getting t2d and cardiovascular issues under control or even reversed. the best way to achieve low insulin levels is the low carb diets you accidentally tried before.
