Low-carb diet high in saturated fat shows mixed effects on cholesterol in two-year trial New analyses from the Norwegian randomized controlled trial CARBFUNC show that more than doubling saturated fat intake over a two-year period can promote favorable changes in several cardiovascular risk markers, without increasing apoB, the main suspected risk factor. One group ate a diet high in total and saturated fat, but very low in carbohydrates (under 10% of energy). The other two groups ate a more standard diet in line with dietary guidelines, with carbohydrates from either refined or minimally refined sources. An interesting result is that LDL cholesterol only showed a modest increase on the high-fat diet, explained by larger, less dense particles, while several other blood lipid values changed in a favorable direction Several of the other changes measured in the lipid profile, such as triglycerides and HDL cholesterol, are linked to insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome. The triglycerides and HDL cholesterol moved in a considerably more favorable direction in the low-carbohydrate group. Triglycerides were reduced by as much as 20%–35% on the high-fat diet, while HDL cholesterol rose by 5%–18%, whereas the values remained fairly unchanged on the diets with more carbohydrates.

This is my 12th year in the diabetes remission with low carb nutrition. No one in india.. I repeat.. No one in India can claim that they are in diabetes remission and not post such readings. Many who claim don't even have latest blood sugar measuring devices Some use stone age instruments and never used a CGM as they cannot face the truth.

“Multigrain” or “high-fibre” doesn’t tell you how much carbohydrates are there or the amount of refined carbs in it. Most labels are deceptive. If you have diabetes then it's best to avoid such packaged products. -Metabolic Health India

"In this cohort study of 1861 patients with nondialysis CKD, low protein intake was not associated with significant nephroprotection and was associated with a higher risk of KFRT and all-cause mortality. These findings suggest that rigid protein restriction should be balanced with nutritional monitoring to prevent protein-energy wasting, particularly in populations with lower muscle mass, and a more individualized approach to dietary protein management in CKD may be warranted"

Many people believe jaggery is safe for people with diabetes because it is “natural.” But jaggery is not a diabetes-friendly substitute for sugar. It still has sugars that can raise your blood glucose. “Natural” describes where a food comes from. It doesn’t tell you how it affects your blood sugar levels. Check your own response with a blood glucose meter or CGM. I personally prefer stevia, allulose, or monk fruit.

Global connections, shared purpose. At WNS 2026, I had the privilege of meeting inspiring colleagues from Poland, the USA, Australia, Nepal, South Africa & many more countries Read more about them on my website Link in next post below.

The power of low-carb nutrition. All medications for diabetes and hypertension pulled off by her Dr. She is only on metformin now. This client from coimbatore comes from a family of medical doctors and she went for low-carb against their advice. Now she will reap the benefits 😃😃😃😃

Diwali is approaching. Don't indulge into too many sweets if you have diabetes. I know it's a big festival and many will want to have some.. but mind the portion and alternatively prepare sweets using Stevia, Monk fruit extract & Allulose. Be truthful to your self and avoid too many servings.

Dark ages of diabetes nutrition. We now have blood sugar meter, CGMs and easy lab works. We can find the truth about how the foods they recommend impacts the blood sugar levels.

Mondays are my fasting days. My blood sugar just now. I take black coffee, black tea and 2 lemon water with salt. Had my dinner yesterday and will have dinner today. Been doing this for > decade except when I travel Type2 Diabetes in remission and into 12th year.

Makhana (fox nut) is often called a high-protein snack. & recommended for diabetes. You’ll often see about 9 g protein / 100 g. But who eats 100 g of makhana in one sitting? A more realistic snack portion is around 25–30 g. That gives you only about 2.5–3 g protein, along with roughly 19–25 g carbs. Makhana is mostly starch & those carbs can spike blood glucose if one has diabetes. So, “high protein” & “best for diabetes” are misleading claims. Check the portion, count the carbs and see how your own glucose responds. Use a CGM to track.

A big thank you to everyone on X. As many as 27 people, including some drs, sent me DMs to express their support. Many others who had my number - reached out to me on WhatsApp as well. Thank you all once again. I truly appreciate your support.

SUCCESS STORY: BETTER DIABETES CONTROL, FEWER MEDICATIONS & IMPROVED ENERGY IN LESS THAN 2 MONTHS! Mr. AJ Age 51, fro, Dubai approached me with an HbA1c of 7.3%, despite being on multiple diabetes medications. He enrolled in Aug 2026 end, and we introduced an individualised low-carbohydrate lifestyle suited to his needs. In less than two months, his latest reports show encouraging improvements! August → October 2026 ✅ HbA1c: 7.3% → 6.4% ✅ Serum Creatinine: 1.07 → 0.97 mg/dL ✅ eGFR: 83 → 94 mL/min/1.73 m² ✅ Weight Loss: 2 kg & inch loss ✅ Better Energy: Feeling more energetic throughout the day ✅ Improved Outlook: More confident, positive and optimistic about his health And His Diabetes Medication Has Been Reduced! Earlier, he was taking: Sitagliptin + Metformin, twice daily Glimepiride 1 mg, once daily His doctor has now discontinued glimepiride, while his other diabetes medications continue. His kidney function markers have also moved in a favourable direction, although both his earlier and current eGFR values were within a generally reassuring range. An HbA1c reduction from 7.3% to 6.4% in less than two months, alongside a reduction in medication, is a promising beginning. There is still progress to be made, and sustained results will be important. Congratulations to Mr. AJ on his commitment + progress.

SUCCESS STORY - AFTER NEARLY 2.5 DECADES OF DIABETES, BOTH ARE NOW OFF INSULIN! This is a particularly satisfying success story from Muscat, Oman. A couple who have been living with type 2 diabetes for 2.5 decades enrolled in my metabolic health coaching programme in April 2026. Thanks Dr Narayan for the referral. @mendbones Both were on multiple diabetes medications, including daily insulin injections, despite which they wanted to improve their metabolic health and reduce their dependence on medication. An additional challenge? Both are strict vegetarians who do not consume eggs either. We started an individualised vegetarian low-carb approach, adapted to their food preferences, lifestyle and medical needs. Around six months later, the results have been extremely encouraging! Mrs. KR ✅ Tresiba insulin 34 units daily → Stopped ✅Glimepiride 3 mg twice daily replaced with Diamicron 60 mg once daily ✅ Metformin regimen modified, with Xigduo introduced ✅ Rybelsus continues Mrs. RR ✅ Tresiba insulin 40 units daily → Stopped ✅ Diamicron 60 mg twice daily discontinued ✅ Metformin regimen reduced and modified, with Xigduo introduced ✅ Rybelsus continues All medication changes were made by their treating doctors. But the improvements go beyond medications! ✅ Both have lost close to 10 kg each ✅ Much better energy throughout the day ✅ Greater optimism and a more positive outlook towards life And most importantly, both are thrilled to be free from daily insulin injections after so many years of living with diabetes. After nearly three decades of diabetes, they are making encouraging progress. There is still work to be done, but what a difference six months can make! They have extended the program so it’s a work in progress. More to come. - Metabolic Health India® Individual results vary.
