It is a bit much. These are basics of low carbing/keto, https://josekalsbeek.blogspot.com/2019/11/the-nutritional-thingy.html , maybe that'll help a little. Keto is whatever you want to make it. I was completely overwhelmed with all these crazy ingredients I'd never even heard of, very complex methods of making a meal... But it can be as simple as just cooking proper, real food. (As in, as straight from the source as it can be, without six factories intervening). Keep it simple, and go from there. I've never gotten to guar gum or whatever, I just stick with stuff I can pronounce.
And that's kept me in the normal range for the past 7 years, so no worries.thank you , very helpful. should i be concerned with portion size?
If you actually manage to go low carb enough to be Keto then eat until satiated always!
Good books to read are Keto Continuum, written by a doctor and the other book I found really interesting is Fast Like A Girl by Dr Mindy Pelz
You'll want to up the fats and protein to compensate for the loss of carbs, so you don't get knackered halfway through the day. So yes, eggs, cold cuts, maybe a bucket of chicken wings if need be.
If it's properly low in carbs, never mind the portion size, just go with what keeps you full and energetic.
Late onset Type 2? You don't mean Type 1 do you (LADA)? Late onset for a Type 2 would be somebody in their 90's - LOL !
Long story lol ... Back in February I was ill and collapsed, woke up 2 days later after being diagnosed as Type 1 with ketoacidosis with a HBA1C reading of 91, 3 weeks in hospital and Insulin dependent. After I was discharged I returned to the Diabetic nurse, she told me that with current readings they were now treating it as Type 2 and I was weaned off the insulin, Forgive me if I got it wrong, but I am really new to this.
Very confusing. I’ve never heard of type being (accurately) decided by hba1c alone or by achieving decent blood glucose levels whilst on insulin. So you’ve had no insulin for the last 6 months? Are you on anything else?
Yes I understand that my knowledge is limited, yes all antibodies were tested and there was no problem, The diabetic nurse (at the Hospital) got the information form my consultant and printed it off for me, I was weaned off the insulin over 2 months. I have the freestlyle libre so my glucose levels are monitored closely, you know I was perfectly happy with my diagnosis and my coping ability, but hey now I'm worrying.
I’m sorry I worried you but the way you explained it made it sound a bit concerning to me, thus worried for you. And sadly it’s not at all unusual for those kind of mistakes and confusions to occur even in professionals. We see it fairly often in here. It’s far safer to be aware of the possibilities and never have it happen than the other way around though. It was in no way a reflection on your coping ability either so I’m also sorry if you thought I was saying that.
Thankyou so much for clarifying, the hospital were very thorough in their testing, I am now on Metformin 500mg morning and evening and eating a low carb regime. My own doctor refused the libre even when I was on Insulin, but the Diabetic nurse at the hospital had it on her desk, and when I asked about it (mid July) she said that the guidelines had now changed and more people are eligible, and yes I hace ketone strips, Thanks again.
