[QUOTE="Kristin251, post: 1554365, member: 240838"] Many people choose a ketogenic diet for other reasons than bs control. Even loads of non diabetics. I've been keto for ages as I simple feel much better. Fatigue, insomnia, high BP, aches and pains, brain fog all vanished. Though type 1's CAN eat carbs it's not a requirement. Just as a non diabetic. Some people ( myself included) like to keep insulin levels low and believe carbs and higher insulin can lead to cancer, Alzheimer's and a whole host of diseases. Some if us don't digest them well. Some of us prefer fat and protein. Regardless of our reasons nobody is required to eat carbs or eat keto. The OP was inquiring how to a embark on a ketogenic diet which to me implies she wants a new diet and has had problems controlling bs or even for various other reasons stated above Maybe and most likely learning to bolus for protein and time the bolus right is going to make all the difference in the world to her. I'm sure in the past she has gone the carb route without good success so lowered her carbs but maybe not quite low enough OR isn't timing her bolus or isnt blousing for protein. Many of us can't get our insulin right when carbs are included. Any which way, the OP is looking for experiences and help to go keto as smoothly as possible. Maybe it won't work for her. Maybe it will. Maybe she'll feel oodles better. Maybe not. Certianly her choice to try something new. [/QUOTE]
