Lesson humbly learned ... Apologies to all ... :sorry: Regards :) Antony

Hi @Scott-C ... I saw on another thread your opinion that I had posted "irresponsibly" on this thread. Just to be clear, the reassurance that I gave to @jillsymes66 on this thread was not solely "because she didn't have high bg" as you stated. My reassurance that she does not have DKA was...

Hi @jillsymes66 ... The attached picture is a clipping from "The Ketogenic Diet" by Lyle McDonald. I have used the Keto diet for around 5 years now, and I find this book very useful to refer to. As you can see, you are not close to DKA by any of the markers that you have mentioned. Remember...

Hi @benjo123456 . . . Blood-sugar levels will generally stay a bit lower than what is considered to be "normal", when in dietary Ketosis. Gluconeogenesis (release of Glycogen from the liver) will keep the blood-sugar levels up to where the body needs them to be, in the absence of much dietary...

Hi @Key_master_ . . . I follow a Ketogenic/LCHF diet . . . If I remember correctly this is closely along the lines of the Bernstein diet, I think maybe a bit more strict with Protein. When I switched to Humulin S (from Humalog) as my main Bolus Insulin, this made a huge difference to my...

Thank you soooo much for this Post, @thepolly!!! I made these Avocado Chips this evening, and they were absolutely delicious . . . Hot, Keto, Tasty, Crunchy :):):):) Thanks! :) Antony

Hi @gracefawcitt . . . I've been T1 for about 17 years now . . . I recognize the symptoms you describe, these have happened to me a few times. For me the first such occurrence was around 9 years after diagnosis. I remember one occasion when I spent an entire morning at work attempting to write...

There's an interesting section on this topic in the book "The Modern Nutritional Diseases: and how to prevent them" by Alice Ottoboni Ph.D. and Fred Ottoboni M.P.H., Ph.D...

Hi @Snapsy . . . Your comment that both coffee and tea spike your blood-sugar is interesting for me . . . Years ago, I was convinced that coffee affected my blood-sugar - a couple of coffees (black, no sugar) in the evening at home would always produce a higher level the next morning. I...

Hi @Juicyj . . . I recently read the book "Bright Spots and Landmines" by Adam Brown . . . this topic of adjusting Insulin doses to manage exercise is covered in detail. He does not offer a magic solution, of course, more like a series of pointers and hints to guide you on figuring out how to...

Thanks for all replies and suggestions . . . much appreciated :) Antony

Hi @SianyG . . . What diet are you using to manage your blood-sugar? If you are in Ketosis (Very-Low-Carb/Ketogenic/LCHF diet) then your brain may not generate warning symptoms simply because it does not feel under threat from low blood-sugar levels. This is not the same as losing Hypo...

Hello . . . This week I bought my very first Avocados :) Have been on Keto/LCHF diet for years, so I don't know why it took so long to get around to this . . . I turn to the forum for some suggestions how to include Avocado in HOT meals? I don't really like to eat cold food, I rarely eat...
