[QUOTE="Kristin251, post: 1532032, member: 240838"] I have been keto for about 25 years. 22 before official DX. I do believe I slowed the progression for many years as I know I controlled it through diet and exercise. I originally started Atkins induction of 20 or less carbs per day and have remained there. There were a few 'bouts' where I tried to be ' healthy' and added grains and fruit back in and I was miserable. Bloated, exhausted , achy, moody etc. Those bouts didn't last long. At the time of DX they wanted me to eat 20 c per meal and I chose sweet potato and black beans. I rollercoaster all day long and hypod far too much. Went back to my keto diet and everything is wonderful. Instead of typing everything written above again I'll just say I agree with all of it. It's wonderful healthy food and I certainly wouldn't eat anything I don't like. It does take some pre planning so I could loads of proteins in bulk and freeze in my size portions. The good thing about that is I have a wide variety every day. Then I just steam some veg or make a quick salad and season as my mood fits. All meals accompanied by a big wedge of avocado. I love my diet. I love all food so sometimes the temptation is strong but a very small taste is usually enough to remind me it doesn't taste as good as I remember. I take LOADS less insulin now and have very stable bs. That's the story I'm sticking to [/QUOTE]
