Following blood tests for weight loss, I was rushed to hospital 4 weeks ago ( blood sugar 38, ketones plus 4) &'shocked to learn I haveType 1 diabetes. I am 54, very slim, fit & have always eaten very healthily. I'm really struggling to get the insulin dosage right and as my usual diet is quite low carb ( but high in fresh fruit) the nova rapid injected with food has been sending my blood sugar levels plummeting 3 hours after eating & I've really struggled having to cram carb heavy foods in me almost constantly to keep my levels up. The diabetes nurse reduced my daily Lantus to 6 and my novo rapid with meals to 2 but I've still been suddenly dropping to 4 and below (& also during the night). I was told not to inject if my meal had minimal carbs and this week told not to inject with food at all ( & when my blood sugar has then gone high - between 7 and 10 - I've managed to bring it down with exercise, but I'm exhausted). I can see the logic in the LCHF diet which I've been trying as it means I don't need to inject with meals but I reeally can't afford to loose any weight and as I've had high cholesterol in the past I need to have 'good' fats ( so lots of avocados and nuts). If anyone can give any suggestions for healthy low carb eating that won't make me loose weight I'd be really grateful - am really struggling ....and longing for a bowl of fresh fruit....
