When my dad was diagnosed t2 a couple of years ago, my mum totally changed to a better, healthier diet for my dad. It just makes sense to them, I guess.

Hi, no my son doesn't low carb. He eats whatever he feels like. I do it because I wanted to lose a bit of weight and to me, it was a good choice of diet. I only found out about it from being on this forum so much since he was diagnosed last year at 15. :)

I think perhaps I jumped straight into low carb, like 15g a day, too quickly. Only 5% of my intake was carbs. This is my husbands view as well. Also got the wrinkly fingertips to go with it. No matter how much water I drink. Maybe if I'd tapered down gradually my body might not have rebelled...

Well I don't have diabetes (my son is type one) and I've been doing low carb since November and my hair is coming out loads. My thyroid has been checked and is fine, so I'm thinking it can only be my diet. I'm obviously missing something.

She may even leave town HITCH

Cauliflower Sneeze ;)

If it were possible, I'd give my 16 year old T1 my pancreas in a heartbeat.

Agreed.. I'm entitled to free prescriptions for life because I have an ostomy. I had a letter from my Ostomy supply company today saying they needed to see proof that I'm entitled to them. They apologised saying they know that I get them free because of my lifelong condition, but they still...

I made that mistake giving my t1 son ibuprofen for a headache a few months ago. He went from 6 to 16! I never even considered that it had sugar in it. I spoke to the chemist and he said the only thing available sugar free was infants ibuprofen liquid. He's a 6'1" strapping 16 year old.

No more than 18g per day for me. I've lost 2 stone so far. No diabetes.

I've lost 29lbs since November. Had a 4 week plateau of not losing any and now it's started up again. Wasn't eating enough it seems. ;)

I'm slightly different with my children. I have two, one daughter 19 with Aspergers and a son 16 with T1 diabetes. X

It is 4.0 this morning, so all is well and it was just an over reaction to carbs then maybe?

Well, I just took another test at 2am, that's nearly 5 hours after the toast and it's now 8.9. At least it's coming down a bit.

I thought so too. I'll do a check in the morning when I get up. Thanks Guys. :) My dad has type 2 as well. Thought it may just have been a shock to my system as I've been keeping to under 18g of carbs per day for the past couple of months.

Hi everyone. I'm non diabetic but have been doing lchf for about two months. I'm the mum of a 16 year old t1 diabetic. Earlier I had some toast, the first I've had in 2 months and tested my blood with my son's spare meter after 2.5 hours and it was 11.8. Is that normal after being lchf for a...

Thanks @Beckie2014 :) fingers crossed it settles soon.

Thanks @catherinecherub , I looked at that info before I initially came on here and read that it could be possible it was linked to diabetes, but it said type 2 mostly. He doesn't seem to have any of the other causes, that's why I'm puzzled. Thanks again. It's such a shame, he couldn't even...

No, he is just on Novorapid and lantus, same since diagnosis. I'm stumped!

That's exactly my ratio. I've lost one and a half stone since the beginning of last month. :)
