So I've been eating the LCHF way for about 2 weeks.
I'm currently a type 1 diabetic, but have recently been told from c peptide blood and urine tests that this may not be the case as my body seems to be producing a significant amount of insulin that seems to indicate I am a type 2 diabetic. I've been put on Metformin which made me feel so I'll I had to change to the slow release ones. I've been on these for a week, and I'm on 3 a day. I also take Toujeo and Fiasp.
So when I first started metformin I had to reduce my insulin as I was having hypos, and my levels were about 4-9 but I think I've reduced it too much as my levels are now back up to the 16mml area.
I'm confused.
So, I'm not in ketosis, my ketones are 0.4.
I eat about 40g of carbs a day from berries, nuts carrots and other veggies.
I haven't lost any weight.
If I was a type 2, surely I would need to be reducing my insulin even more?
I feel dreadful. Headache and tiredness. Drinking plenty of water.
Increased my basal from 36 to 40 today, and I'm hoping that helps. When I was having hypos it was about 46 a day.
Any advice welcome x
