Hello @fewhembree5468, Thank you for your question! Yes, the Libre 3 sensor can work with your phone and the Libre 3 monitor. You can use the LibreLink app on your smartphone to scan and read your glucose levels, and the Libre monitor can also be used as an alternative or backup device. Both devices allow you to conveniently keep track of your glucose levels. If you have any more questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask!

Hi @johnsmith-dm2tq, congratulations on your significant weight loss-a major achievement! 🎉 Regarding your blood sugar levels, fasting glucose levels between 70 and 99 mg/dL are normal. Levels consistently above 100 mg/dL (fasting) might suggest diabetes or prediabetes. Since your readings have been consistently above 124 mg/dL, discussing this with a healthcare professional, despite your reservations, is essential. I understand your hesitation post-COVID, but a trusted healthcare provider is crucial in managing type 2 diabetes effectively. You might explore telemedicine options or seek a second opinion if you are uncomfortable with your current care. In terms of medication vs. self-management, medications can be very effective, especially if lifestyle changes alone aren't bringing your glucose levels within target ranges. However, continuing your efforts with diet and possibly introducing other lifestyle changes like increased physical activity can also have significant impacts. It's all about finding the right balance that works for your body. Keep up your excellent work on the diet front, and perhaps consult a diabetes educator or an endocrinologist who can tailor advice to your specific situation. Stay empowered and proactive about your health!

Hey @karlgregoire202, that’s fantastic to hear you're feeling good after reaching your goal! 🌟 It's great to listen to your body, especially when giving you positive feedback. If you’re considering extending your goal, consider your overall health and the sustainability of your current routine. It’s often beneficial to set incremental goals that gradually increase in challenge. However, ensure you’re not pushing yourself too hard or too fast. Maybe check in with a healthcare professional for personalized advice that aligns with your health needs. Keep up the great work, and let me know what you decide!

Hello, @karlgregoire202! Congratulations on your incredible progress with the fasting and the weight loss-what an inspiring journey! 🌟 It sounds like you’ve prepared your body well by cutting out simple carbs, which can help smooth the transition into fasting. Staying in ketosis post-fast with an intermittent fasting schedule sounds like a great plan. Make sure to reintroduce foods slowly and focus on high-quality, nutrient-dense foods during your eating windows to maintain energy levels and nutrient intake. Keep up the great work, and I'm excited to see how you'll continue to thrive with your new eating pattern!

Hello @SSsmith24, I’m truly sorry to hear about your struggles with hypothyroid and parathyroid cancer and the ongoing challenges with your medication and labs.

While I’m not able to change your medical situation, I’m here to listen and support you through this community. Please let me know if there’s anything specific you’d like to share or discuss. You’re in my thoughts.

@@DwainWoodeMD TY,, it means a lot…. I’m very afraid of dying😭😭😭💔

Hello @vickymyprayergarden6846, I want to commend you for taking immediate action with your diet after receiving your A1C and glucose results; that’s a significant and brave step. 🌟 Regarding your question about a daily B complex vitamin, B vitamins are crucial for energy production and overall health, especially when on a restrictive diet like keto. Make sure you are taking a high-quality multivitamin. However, the need for supplementation can vary based on individual health conditions and dietary intake. Discussing this with your healthcare provider, who can offer guidance based on your specific health needs and nutritional status, would be beneficial. They can help ensure you get the proper nutrients without interfering with your progress. Keep up the great work, and I look forward to hearing about your progress in August!

Hello, Andrey, and welcome to the channel! I'm thrilled to have you here and even more excited that you found the show impactful. 🌟 Congratulations on reaching new milestones in your fasting journey-it sounds like you're embracing the process and learning a lot along the way.

Your approach to breaking the fast thoughtfully will definitely serve your health goals well. Keep up the great work, and I love that you're tuning in even while on the go with Uber-that's dedication! Looking forward to hearing more about your journey. Stay strong, and God bless you, too!

Hi @TheWinterState, that’s a great question! TPO (thyroid peroxidase) antibodies are associated with thyroid conditions like Hashimoto's thyroiditis. Lowering these antibodies typically involves a combination of lifestyle changes, dietary adjustments, and potentially medication, depending on your specific situation. Reducing inflammation through a balanced diet, incorporating selenium-rich foods like Brazil nuts, and possibly gluten-free options can be helpful. However, discussing this with your healthcare provider to get a tailored approach that suits your health needs is crucial. If you have more questions or need support, I’m here to help!

Hi @Srindal4657, that's an interesting approach to maintaining hydration, especially during weight loss! Salt can help with water retention, which is essential when losing water weight. The amount needed can vary depending on individual health needs. Keep listening to your body and adjusting as needed. Thanks for sharing your tip-it might help others manage their hydration while dieting!

Thanks for joining the conversation, @twinny12009! As you said, it's essential to acknowledge that diet is very individual. I'm sorry to hear that the vegan diet didn't work out for your thyroid issues. Regarding your question about Dr. Lathon, she didn't specify the type of thyroid cancer in our discussion, but it’s a great point. It might be worth exploring further in future content to help others navigate similar health challenges. Thanks for sharing your experience-it adds a valuable perspective to our understanding of health and diet!

Hi @TheLightworkz, it's great that you're proactively considering assembling the best care team for your Type 2 diabetes management. Considering adding an endocrinologist to your team is not a bad idea, especially given their specialized knowledge in managing and treating conditions like diabetes. Endocrinologists can provide focused care and offer additional insights or treatment options aligning with your health goals. It’s wonderful that you have a supportive relationship with your PCP, and enhancing your team with specialized care can complement what your PCP already offers. Ultimately, feeling confident and supported by your healthcare team is crucial on your journey. Wishing you the best as you build your team and manage your health!

@wreloise1, thank you for sharing your experience! Working 12-hour night shifts can add an extra layer of challenge to fasting. Ensuring your fasting schedule is aligned with your work routine to maintain your energy levels and overall health is essential. Consider gradually adjusting the duration of your fasts to see what feels sustainable with your work demands. Also, staying hydrated and planning your eating windows strategically around your shift can help manage hunger and energy. If you haven't already, check out some of the tips in our series that might be particularly useful for night-shift scenarios. Keep up the great work, and remember, your health and well-being come first!

@rachellee5818, I'm so glad you found the reminder helpful! Attending family gatherings can be challenging when you're mindful of your eating habits, especially when fasting. Remember to plan ahead-maybe have a small, nutritious meal if your eating window allows it before attending the gathering to help stave off temptations. And it's perfectly okay to decline offers that don't fit your fasting schedule politely. Most importantly, focus on enjoying the time with your family. I am glad that you are aware of your triggers. That is a huge step toward managing them effectively. You definitely got this. Have fun at your gathering!

@jennifernebraska9728, thank you for your comment! I'm glad you're engaging with the content. If you're experiencing hypoglycemia symptoms while fasting, addressing this safely is essential. Always have a plan for how to respond to low blood sugar levels, especially during longer fasts. It might be helpful to adjust the duration of your fasting or the timing of your nutrient intake around your fasting periods. Please consult with a healthcare professional tailored to your specific health needs. Stay safe, and take care!
